What's on

Always something on.

Live music, long apres and the fire pit going. Here is what is warming up at the Genny.

Est. on the summit · 1750m

1750 metres up — and the heart of the hill.

For decades, locals and visitors have come to The Genny for a proper feed, a cold one by the fire and a genuine welcome. We’re right at the top of Hotham, 1750 metres up, and we’ve been part of this mountain a long time.

1750 metres up. Here for our community.

Right on the snow

First chair,
last light.

We sit right next to the Big D, the lifts and the ski school on our doorstep. Ride from first chair to last light, then stamp the snow off your boots and straight onto the deck.
