Mt Hotham, located in the Victoria Alps, stands out as Australia's most challenging ski resort. The ski area stretches between 1,450 and 1,2824.8 feet and includes 13 lifts and just over 80 slopes. Unlike many other resorts, the accommodation is located above the slopes, so you go down into the terrain directly from the village.
The town's strength is the steeper skiing. Experienced skiers and freeriders will find coulouries, deeper valleys and good opportunities for powder skiing when the weather permits. There are easier slopes for beginners, but Hotham is above all a destination for the advanced target group.
The village offers hotels, cottages, restaurants and après-ski, but the atmosphere is more relaxed than in Buller. Here you travel mainly for skiing and the landscape, not for the entertainment offer.
