Hotham Village Bus Service

As part of your resort entry fee, Mt Hotham Alpine Resort offers a free Village bus service, running every 10-15 minutes to get you from your pillow to powder, bar to bar, or home after a day on the slopes. Simply wait at any bus stop sign around the village precinct (see map below) to catch a ride.

The bus route includes 14 stops, taking you from Stop 1 at Hotham Central — your gateway to everything Mt Hotham has to offer, including slopes and essential amenities — to Stop 12 at Wire Plain for Snow Play experiences (for staff car park stops 13 and 14, let the bus driver know if you are going there, or hail the Dinner Plain bus if you require a lift back).

Service Hours: 7am - 12:30am, 7 days a week
Season: Operates throughout the official snow season, starting Friday, 6 June.
