Do I need tyre chains for my vehicle?
All vehicles must carry chains during the proclaimed season – start of June long weekend to end of ski season. Chains must be carried from Harrietville on the western approach and Cobungra from the eastern approach. Chains must be fitted where directed. Failing to carry or fit chains when directed to do so is a driving offence and fines apply. Police actively patrol Mt Hotham and Dinner Plain during winter. Chains are available from Hoys Ski Hire in Harrietville and Billies Ski Hire in Omeo.

The short answer is YES, only vehicles with engaged 4 wheel drive may proceed beyond chain fitting bays without fitting chains, unless the 4 wheel drive exception is removed and all vehicles are required to fit chains.

Is there fuel in Dinner Plain?
No, there nearest service stations are Bright and Omeo, so best to fill up before you climb the mountain. The service stations in these towns all carry Alpine Diesel, which is very necessary for diesel vehicles, which are prone to not starting if there is little or no Alpine mix in the tank.
