Surf ‘n’ ski packages offered for the first time in Australia

 

Winter in Victoria is an adrenalin-lover’s wonderland.  Epic surf conditions pound the rugged south west coast and deep powder coats the alpine peaks.

 

The only down side has been choosing which to do.

 

Now you can have both as Hotham and Big Stick Adventures team up to offer same day surf ‘n’ ski packages.

 

For the first time ever in Australia you can surf solid offshore waves in the morning then hit the challenging mountain slopes of Hotham for serious downhill action.

 

Packages start from just $1,217* per person, which includes a three-day surf safari, flights direct to Hotham, and a three-day snow holiday. *Valid from July 1 to 14 and from September 2 to 15.

 

 

Few places in the world offer the chance to experience the extremes of ocean and earth in the same day. This is your opportunity to get onboard an adventure like no other.

 

 


 

 

The Snow

 

The elements that produce this epic surf also combine to generate soft, white powder on our ski slopes.  What better place to experience this than Australia’s premier ski resort, Hotham.

 

Due to its location deep within the Victorian Alps, Hotham sets the standard when it comes to providing its guests with an unparalleled snow experience. Unlike other resorts, Hotham is located on top of the mountain at 1750 metres, making it the highest alpine village in Victoria, giving most accommodations spectacular views of the alpine region. The resort is also known for its great variety of skiing and snowboarding terrain, with easy beginner runs right through to gnarly double black steeps that will really get the pulse going.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

The Surf

From June to October a clean, powerful swell drives out of the Southern Ocean and combines with the offshore trade winds to produce epic, world-class surf. 

 

At this time of year the holiday crowds thin as waves averaging 6ft (2m) hit reefs and beaches spanning a 500km stretch of coastline. 

 

This is our playground.

 

Big Stick Adventures surf guides take you from world famous breaks such as Bells Beach to lesser-known spots Deep South where it is not uncommon to be the only surfers in the water.

 

The region is peppered with lefts and rights hitting reefs and beaches with enough power to light a small city.

 

Our four-wheel-drives will get you over the sand dunes, through the rivers and along bush tracks to find 12 wave sets stretching to the horizon. 

 

Base camp is Torquay; home of Australian surfing and birthplace of surfing giants Rip Curl and Quiksilver.  Ours is a vibrant town that lives every day for the surf and makes fellow surfers feel right at home.
