Located in Victoria's High Country, Mt. Hotham is a key alpine destination known for its skiing and scenic views. The route from Dargo via back roads presents notable challenges during the snowy season.

The journey involves travelling along rugged terrain that becomes increasingly difficult with snowfall. Snow gums line the accent which ultimately leads to Mt. Hotham, standing at an elevation of 1,861 meters (6,106 feet).

The mountain itself was named after Sir Charles Hotham, a former Governor of Victoria in 1854, where it became a key location during the Victorian gold rush, with miners trekking through the challenging terrain in search of fortune. This early influx of settlers and adventurers laid the foundation for the development of the region into a popular alpine destination.
