Mount Hotham Alpine Resort is a ski destination located in the Victorian Alps at approximately 1,750 meters in elevation. The area offers a range of slopes and multiple lift systems that serve different skill levels and riding styles.
The area was developed as a ski destination in the early 1900s, with early lodges such as Zirky's Hotel marking the start of tourist development. The region gradually grew into an established winter sports hub in Australia.
The location draws winter sports enthusiasts from across Australia and shapes the social fabric of the region through events and seasonal work. The mountain community has developed a strong connection to its traditions and the shared experience of the winter season.
The road to the mountain can become slippery in snow and chains are often required; visitors are advised to check current conditions before traveling. Parking availability and the range of services depend heavily on the season and weather conditions.
The mountain is home to Australia's only biathlon facility, where winter sports and shooting merge. There is also Mary's Slide, one of the country's most technically demanding runs that challenges skiers with its difficulty.
