At 1861 meters above sea level, Mt. Hotham is Victoria's highest all-season alpine resort. Comprising 245 ha. of downhill skiing, Mt Hotham boasts 13 modern ski-lifts with a capacity nearing 25,000 skiers per hour. With an average annual natural snow fall of 440cm, combined with more than 10ha of snowmaking, a longest downhill run of 2.5km, and the legendary Mary's Slide, Mt. Hotham will thrill even the intrepid.

An extensive cross-country network features more than 35km. of trails meandering through the pristine alpine environment. Night skiing also operates two nights a week, allowing the beauty of the mountain to be admired by night as well as by day.

Fully functional since 2000 is the $17 million Mt. Hotham airport. At 1.5km in length the runway will be able to accommodate up to 70 seater jet aircraft, and terminal facilities will cater for 400.
