Be PreparedThe best months for walking the tracks & trails are from November through to April, however, weather conditions can change rapidly, and snowfalls and blizzards can occur at anytime of the year. Mt Hotham’s Bushwalking Season is from the November Melbourne Cup Weekend to late May.
Be prepared with: • Wind and waterproof jacket• Warm clothing – hat, gloves, sunglasses, and strong footwear• Food and water• First aid kit and sunscreen • Map and compass• Check weather forecast before departing• Let someone know where you are going• Mobile phone (reception in some areas)The 2003 bushfires have damaged snowgums which are now regenerating, but dead branches are shedding with the new growth. High wind days may result in falling limbs and branches. It is not recommended to use the tracks on windy days.During the warmer months snakes can be found along the tracks.
