Mt Hotham resort improvements roll on towards winter

MT HOTHAM Resort Management is taking advantage of the recent good weather to drive progress on major infrastructure works currently taking place.

The Alpine Gateway multi–level carpark is on track to be operational by the start of the 2022 snow season, with full completion of the new visitor facility due prior to the 2023 snow season.

When finished, Alpine Gateway will operate as the trailhead for the iconic Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing, and will provide a much–needed new visitor facility and multi–level car park at the current Loch Car Park site.

In winter, this will seek to offer a seamless visitor experience, including significantly improved parking and direct ski field access for skiers and boarders of all abilities.

At the other end of the resort, the Whisky Flat Recreational Facility will be ready for the 2022 snow season, providing a new accessible, multipurpose public facility incorporating community space, changing rooms and toilets, as well as basic kitchen facilities to provide catering options for groups and events.

Resort management said the facility will be environmentally sensitive, using insulation, water saving and re–use measures, solar panels and efficient lighting control to minimise energy and water use.

Mt Hotham resort entry season permits will be on sale soon, with an 'early bird' offering available from $455 until April 30.
