Mt. Hotham Trail Map

Mt. Hotham’s terrain spans 320 hectares and offers a vertical drop of 395 meters. The resort’s 14 lifts—including quad chairs, triple chairs, and surface lifts—connect a variety of zones, each with its own character and snow conditions.

Beginners will find gentle slopes near the Big D and Summit areas, with wide-open trails and surface lifts ideal for learning. These zones are groomed daily and offer easy access to ski school programs and snow play areas.

Intermediate skiers can explore trails like “Sun Run” and “Blue Ribbon,” which offer rolling terrain and scenic descents. The Orchard and Road Runner lifts serve this terrain well, providing consistent pitch and panoramic views of the Razorback Ridge.

Advanced skiers gravitate toward Heavenly Valley and Gotcha zones, where runs like “Mary’s Slide” and “One Tree Hill” deliver steeper pitches, natural features, and tree-lined descents. These areas hold snow well and offer dynamic skiing across varied conditions.

Expert terrain includes chutes, bowls, and off-piste zones accessible from the summit ridge. McColl’s Bowl and Out of Your Tree are standout areas for powder days, offering steep, wide-open faces and gladed tree skiing.

Freestyle riders have two terrain parks to choose from: Summit Park for intermediate and advanced features, and Big D Park for beginners. Both parks are maintained regularly and host seasonal events. Tubing lanes near the base add extra fun for families and non-skiers.
