The Great Alpine Road runs through the middle of the resort (in fact, there's a point on the Sunday Run where you can ski over a road bridge). Most runs or lifts to them leave at an easily accessed point on the road. However, parking near the center of the resort is difficult to get, and you may need to park at the edges and catch the free bus to the run of your choice. Be careful of '''pedestrians''': people catching the bus up and down the resort frequently have to cross the road on foot with armfuls of gear, and there are no marked crossings. The usual training is to give way to any pedestrians.

The '''village bus service''' is operated by a set of clunky old school buses with big SNOW BUS labels. This free bus service drives up and down the length of the Great Alpine Road inside the resort. Catch it at any of the "Village Bus" bus stop signs which are located near most carparks and major lifts and run end-points on the road. It arrives every 5-10 minutes.

Be careful when waiting for the bus, particularly if waiting on the side of the road that has a drop-off. There are no fences or safety rails protecting you from walking off the edge; although obviously the bus doesn't park right next to it, it also doesn't stop far away from it.

Mount Hotham has an airfield that used to be served by Qantas-Australia but as of 2023 there are no commercial flights at all. You will need to charter a plane, or with appropriate licensing pilot one yourself, to fly to Hotham. The closest airport with commercial flights is Albury.

Rent a Car or Limousine in Mount Hotham

  • take the Hume Highway to Wangaratta and then the Great Alpine Road through Harrietville, which takes around 4.5 hours; or
  • take the Princes Highway to Bairnsdale and turn onto the Great Alpine Road via Omeo and Dinner Plain, which takes around 5.5 hours.

From Sydney take the Hume Highway to Albury-Wodonga, and follow the signs to Yackandandah and turn off to Myrtleford]. At Myrtleford turn off onto the Great Alpine Road through to Harrietville and Mount Hotham. This is about 8.5 hours' driving.

From Queensland take the Newell Highway to Cobram and then onto Wangaratta and the Great Alpine Road as per the route from Melbourne.

In all cases, cars must carry fitting snow chains when travelling on the Great Alpine Road between Harrietville and Omeo between June 1 and October 10 every year. You must be able to fit them when the signs indicate: there are numerous chain fitting bays located on the road. Chains are available for hire in Harrietville and Omeo.

Parking fees at Hotham are substantial: $28 per day (multiple entries are allowed), paid in cash at the gate at either end of the resort. You will be given a permit to stick on the inside of your windscreen. Parking is free until midnight if your first entry of the day is after 3PM, but you still need to stop at the gate and get an evening parking sticker. Parking inspections are frequent before 3PM and after midnight when the free evening parking passes run out. If you are just driving in to drop someone off you do not need to pay a parking fee but you must pay a drop-off fee of $10 per person. If you're just driving through without stopping, let them know, because no fee applies.

Drivers who don't wish to drive in the snow can park in the security vehicle parking at Hoys Skis in Harrietville for $10 a day (cheaper for longer stays) and catch a bus to Mount Hotham.

The nearest train station is in Wangaratta, on the main Sydney to Melbourne line. Travellers would then need to transfer to a bus to Bright and a second bus to Mount Hotham.

How to get around in Mount Hotham

The Great Alpine Road runs through the middle of the resort (in fact and there's a point on the Sunday Run where you can ski over a road bridge). Most runs or lifts to them leave at an easily accessed point on the road. However, parking near the center of the resort is difficult to get, and you may need to park at the edges and catch the free bus to the run of your choice. Be careful of pedestrians: people catching the bus up and down the resort frequently have to cross the road on foot with armfuls of gear, and there are no marked crossings. The usual training is to give way to any pedestrians.

The village bus service is operated by a set of clunky old school buses with big SNOW BUS labels. This free bus service drives up and down the length of the Great Alpine Road inside the resort. Catch it at any of the "Village Bus" bus stop signs which are located near most carparks and major lifts and run end-points on the road. It arrives every 5-10 minutes. Skis must be stored in the holders on the outside of the bus, but snowboards are carried on board. Be careful when waiting for the bus, particularly if waiting on the side of the road that has a drop-off. There are no fences or safety rails protecting you from walking off the edge; although obviously the bus doesn't park right next to it, it also doesn't stop far away from it.
