Hotham Facts
Hotham has always been known as a "serious skiers" mountain, this was in part due to the Great Alpine Road into Hotham and in part due to the nature of the runs at Hotham. Well the road is now fully sealed and arguably one of the most beautiful scenic drives in the world, and the runs, well there are just more of them, lots more! Hotham probably has the most variety of advanced and expert runs of any resort in Australia (40% of its total skiable area!). Hotham has undergone a transformation in recent years, three new quad chairs, more snowmaking and lots of village developments. There is, of course, a good range of beginners and intermediate skiing/boarding as well, and night skiing is offered on the Big D area. Hotham lift & lesson rates
