Experience the Powder Capital of Australia

Mount Hotham may not be the tallest peak, but it holds something truly special. Home to Australia’s highest ski resort, this alpine haven offers 320 hectares of breathtaking skiable terrain, where every run feels like a new discovery. From gentle beginner slopes to heart-racing black runs, there’s something here for every kind of adventurer.

After carving through fresh powder, step into the warm embrace of Hotham Village, where fireside cafés, buzzing bars, and welcoming restaurants serve up the perfect end to your day. It’s more than just skiing, it’s that first morning breath in the cold, the quiet satisfaction at the end of a run, and the kind of joy that only the mountains can deliver.

But Mount Hotham isn’t just a winter wonderland. Thanks to its refreshingly cool climate year-round, it transforms into a stunning summer retreat ideal for hiking, mountain biking, or simply soaking in the panoramic alpine beauty.

If your heart beats more for trails than skis, just 12 minutes away lies Dinner Plain, a serene alpine village surrounded by 23 km of flowing trails. It’s a summer paradise for hikers, bikers, and off-road adventurers, while in winter it takes on a serene, snow-dusted charm that’s equally enchanting.

So, whether you chase snowflakes or sun-drenched paths, Mount Hotham invites you to feel alive, explore deeper, and connect with the mountains like never before.
