Hotham - Dinner Plain Day Bus Service

Christian's Bus Co. is contracted by the Alpine Shire as the official operator of the transport link between Dinner Plain and Hotham.

The cost of the trip itself is free however resort gate entry must be paid to get into Hotham Alpine Resort which is $16 for adults and $8.00 for children.

The buses are fully air-conditioned, have extra large underfloor luggage compartments for equipment storage and the regular vehicles even boast automatically fitted wheel chains operated from the drivers seat whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Bookings are not necessary and tickets may be purchased from the driver or from selected outlets within Dinner Plain Village.

Simply wait at one of the three pickup points within the Dinner Plain Village and the bus will come along at the appropriate time. The three bus locations include the front of Onsen Retreat & Spa, on Halter Lane just down from the corner of Big Muster Drive and at the bottom of Halter Lane.

There are two pick up points within Hotham Alpine Resort - one in front of the Transit lounge at the Resort Management Board building and one in front of the Big D. Just look for the red bus signs.
