Driving to the snow - Directions and adviceGetting To Hotham

The Hotham Airport brings the ski fields closer to you. Located just 20 kms from Hotham and 10 kms from Dinner Plain, you land at Australia's highest commercial airport only minutes from the slopes. With direct and connecting flights Australia wide, fly in to Hotham this season and enjoy more time to live the high life.

It's still a wonderful trip by car though, as Hotham is located at the highest point of the Great Alpine Road - a classic Australian motoring route. There is sealed road access from both sides of the mountain, ample overnight parking and unloading zones close to your accommodation. A Resort Entry Fee is applied to vehicles and passengers of coaches and taxis entering the resort during the declared snow season.
