Terrain that bites back

Seventy-odd trails across 320 hectares, a 395-metre vertical and the steepest overall terrain mix of any major Australian resort.

Beginner

Gentle, well-groomed runs near the village to find your feet.

Intermediate

The heart of the mountain — long blues and rolling groomers.

Advanced

Chutes, steeps and tree runs — the steepest mix in the country.

The long ones

Hotham’s signature descent, Spargo’s, runs about 2.5 kilometres top to bottom — the kind of sustained run that’s rare in Australia. Add the mountain’s famous chutes and the tree runs threading through the snow gums, and there’s enough here to keep strong skiers busy for a week.

After dark

On select evenings the lights come on for night skiing — a few laps under the stars after the day crowds have gone. Terrain parks run through the season too, snow depending.

Gear sorted on the mountain

You don’t need to arrive with everything. Skis, boards, boots and clothing can all be hired and fitted in the village, so you can travel light and gear up when you get here.
