Introducing Mt Hotham
Serious hikers and skiers head to Mt Hotham, the starting point for some stunning alpine walks between November and May, and home to 320 hectares of downhill runs, with a vertical drop of 428m. About 80% of the ski trails are intermediate or advanced. The Big D is open for night skiing every Wednesday and Saturday, and the village chairlift also runs between late December and early January and over Easter.

Off-piste skiing in steep and narrow valleys is good. Cross-country skiing is also good, with 35km of trails winding through tree-lined glades.
You can obtain good walking notes from Parks Victoria in Omeo and Bright. The most popular walk is to Mt Feathertop, but there are many others to choose from.
