Dinner Plain
An architecturally designed alpine village east of Mount Hotham, with timber and stone cottages blending into snow gum forest. Good for cross-country skiing and snow play with children in winter.
Dinner Plain lies about 11 km east of Mount Hotham. It was developed in the 1980s under a unified architectural code, and its cottages, built from timber and local stone, are scattered through snow gum forest. The village won an architecture award. In winter there are cross-country ski trails, a toboggan area and small beginner slopes, and a free bus connects the village with Mount Hotham ski resort. In summer the cool climate suits mountain biking, hiking and horse riding, and the village also has an alpine hot spring spa. The drive from Bright takes about 1 hour 20 minutes.
