Hotham Resort Entry Passes Go On Sale!
Just before the start of the Easter Long weekend Hotham launched the sale of their resort entry passes, exactly one month after sister resort Falls Creek did exactly the same.
The main stand out in this sale is the ability to purchase the Resort Entry Season Pass which any keen Hotham rider will likely snag up before the commencement of the winter season. Sadly this year there is no All Resorts pass which means riders who would normally get an Epic Pass + the All Resorts pass will need to choose one main resort for entry and then pay for days when visiting the other resort. We personally chose Falls Creek this year and will make special trips to Hotham when the storms roll up.
If you are planning to purchase the Hotham Resort Entry Season Pass make sure you get in now before April 30 to get the best value deal. Price goes up May 1st.

What is Resort Entry at Hotham?
More Than Parking
Your resort entry fee covers your access to the resort and helps fund a range of important services including the Mt Hotham Ski Patrol, village snow clearing, free village transport, traffic and car parking services, cross country trail grooming, waste management and environmental management.
Season Resort Entry Permits provide great value if you are planning to visit the resort for an extended period of time. There are also options available for day & multi-day visitors as well as school and bus groups.
Schools and group rates
Groups travelling into the Mt Hotham Resort by bus (i.e. a vehicle with the capacity to carry 12 or more people including the driver) can apply for a group resort entry permit.
School groups travelling as part of a Department of Education excursion are offered the schools concession rate.
Do I Need Resort Entry?
All vehicles stopping in a Victorian Alpine Resort must have a valid authorised Resort Entry Permit. If you travel directly through the resort from Dinner Plain / Omeo to Harrietville or Harrietville to Dinner Plain / Omeo and do not stop, you will not require a resort entry permit. Your resort exit point must differ from your resort entry point.
If you are dropping off family or friends within the resort you are still required to purchase a resort entry permit as all vehicles stopping within the resort boundaries must have a valid permit to cover visitors using the resort facilities.
Purchasing
Save time and purchase your Resort Entry online through Alpine Easy Access, so that you can enjoy even more time on the slopes! Mt Hotham's Resort Entry system is now managed through a responsive camera system, ensuring you no longer have to stop at the gate.
