Sunset Snowshoeing Experience
Embrace 'golden hour' with a scenic snowshoeing adventure (1.5 hours) into pristine alpine wilderness surprisingly close but worlds away from the Hotham village centre. No experience needed, minimal fitness required. Snowshoes hire included. Snowshoeing is a magical way to explore this winter alpine environment up close at a human pace – the only way really since you’d sink in normal walking boots. Enjoy an unforgettable experience walking on top of the snow, on top of the world while viewing a breathtaking sunset light show that looks different every single day. Tours run Wednesday and Saturday at Hotham and Thursdays at Dinner Plain subject to snow and weather conditions - start and finish times change with the sunset through the season.
Cross country skiing
Learn to cross country ski and go free-range. No crowds, no lifts, no passes. Cross country is your key to exploring this winter wonderland at your own pace, powered by you. Cross country skis may look similar to other skis, but the mechanics are quite different. Although you're still sliding on snow, it takes some understanding and practice to stay upright and get around efficiently. Practice the basics of weight transfer and efficient glide to get you started exploring the trails. Levels from 'absolute beginner' up, classic and skate techniques.
Villages Traverse Snowshoeing Expedition

You'll stop for tasty snacks and a hearty warm lunch using locally-sourced ingredients put together by Hotham's famous Last Run Cafe.

This tour is offered for private bookings of up to five persons only, minimum age of 15 years. Return transport via the scheduled bus service is included. Snowshoeing is a magical way to explore this winter wonderland up close at a human pace – the only way really since you’d sink in normal walking boots.
