HIGH COUNTRY HAVEN

MT Hotham is arguably the most attractive ski village in Australia and definitely one of the most popular. During winter, it is a glitzy and fashion-conscious resort, combining great skiing and infamous après-ski entertainment. However, during the warmer months it’s also home to a variety of summer adventures and the perfect location to explore the Mt Hotham Alpine Resort and the surrounding Alpine National Park on foot. The Hotham Resort provides year-round accommodation and facilities so hikers can easily access the surrounding walking trails and nature sites. An assortment of tracks and trails access some of Australia’s best views, iconic mountain huts, unique flora and fauna and some of the region’s richest history.

Here, you will find some of Australia’s premier mountain walks including the Australian Alps Walking Track, Razorback Ridge to Mt Feathertop and the famous Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing. These challenging walks take in spectacular mountain scenery and should become the ultimate goal for aspiring hikers who seek authentic wilderness experiences.

Combine all this with a variety of shorter trails and what you have is the ultimate walking destination.
