Mount Hotham looms large over the Ovens Valley and pretty much all other climbs in the Victorian High Country. The 30km hors catégorie climb features the largest elevation gain in the region and is the highest sealed road in Australia. Simply put, this mountain deserves respect.
Don’t be fooled by its average gradient of 4.2%; the climb itself is roughly broken into three parts: a sustained but manageable climb up through tall eucalypts, a delightful false flat and a gruelling series of steep ramps above the treeline punctuated by short reprieves.
