The Hotham Village is located 1750m above sea level and the summit of Mount Hotham is 1861m high. The Great Alpine Road runs from Wangaratta in the north of Victoria to Bairnsdale in the south and passes through the Hotham Alpine Resort.  Due to this, there is fantastic access to all the mountain has to offer including ski fields, accommodation, restaurants, shopping and day spas.

You can access the resort by car, coach or catch a train to wangarata and take a bus to the resort.  Mount Hotham also has its own airport, which means you can book a charter plane to get on the slopes faster.

How about skiing at TWO resorts in one day?

Jump on the Heli-Link with Forest Air Helicopters and you can! Spend the morning on the slopes at Hotham before heading over to Falls Creek for the afternoon.

More than 32,000 skiers, boarders and sightseeing guests have enjoyed a once in a lifetime experience by flying between the resorts of Hotham and Falls Creek. 

The Heli Link takes approximately six minutes in the six passenger helicopter which cruises at over 200 km/h. Your Falls Creek ski lift ticket is valid at Mt Hotham (and vice versa for Hotham-based skiers and boarders). We’ll drop you off in the morning and then pick you up in the afternoon.

Along the flight path you'll see awesome snow-capped mountains such as Mt McKay (accessed by cat skiers or boarders with a guide), razor-sharp Mt Feathertop, cross-country skiers, historic cattlemen's huts and if you are really lucky, wild brumbies!

Bookings are essential for the Heli-Link and make sure you book early as seats are limited on the 'blue bird' days.

Helicopter services operate all season long when weather conditions permit.
