Location

Mount Hotham, Australia

Mount Hotham Airport (IATA: MHU, ICAO: YHOT) is a small regional airport located near Mount Hotham in the Victorian Alps of Australia. It serves as the primary air access point for the Mount Hotham and Dinner Plain ski resorts, operating primarily during the winter ski season. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 1,267 metres (4,157 feet) above sea level, making it one of the highest-altitude airports in Australia. Its alpine setting presents unique operational challenges, including snow, ice, and mountain weather conditions that can affect flight schedules. Due to its seasonal nature and remote alpine location, the airport has limited infrastructure and handles relatively modest passenger volumes compared to major Australian airports. Access by air significantly reduces travel time compared to the long mountain road journey from Melbourne.

Terminals

The airport has a simple, small terminal building suited to its regional and seasonal operations.

Getting to & from

Ground transport from the airport to Mount Hotham and Dinner Plain resorts is available via shuttle bus and taxi services during the ski season.
