Mt Hotham is inviting adventurers of all kinds to reach new heights with eight captivating events this summer, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Victorian High Country at its finest.

Whether you’re chasing personal bests or simply seeking fresh mountain air, Mt Hotham offers a nature-fuelled escape like no other, according to Natalie Valentine, Mt Hotham Alpine Resort general manager. "We love seeing the resort transform in summer," she said. "It’s a season full of hidden treasures - wildflowers in bloom, quiet trails, and crisp alpine air. "Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or just looking to unwind, there’s something for everyone. "So bring your family, your friends, and immerse yourself in untamed nature this summer.” Highlights include the return of Highlander powered by Spartan Race (April 18–22, 2026), with Mt Hotham remaining the first and only Australian destination to host this iconic global adventure event.
