Targa Classica - this week at Mt Hotham

Mt Hotham will be hosting the Targa Classica event as it winds its way through the Victorian high countrythis week. On Tuesday 28 March competitors will arrive for the evening and give mountain guests the opportunity to admire rare and vintage cars that are not often seen on public roads.

Due to the number of participants staying overnight, part of the Corral Car Park will be reserved for Targa Classica participants. There will also be significantly increased traffic in the village so we ask that all visitors allow extra time for travelling through the resort.

For full details of the event and changes to resort operations, please check the RMB website.

Some items can't be left for collection, so please check the Resort Management website before leaving hard rubbish for collection.
