TRAVELLERS from across the
world seeking to enjoy the
Victorian snow season will now
benefit from the Dyson Group’s
newly enhanced Alps Link, the
company announced recently.
Aimed to give “...the public easier
access to the snow this winter”,
snow-goers will have easier access
to the Mt Hotham Resort with the
Dyson Group introducing a fully
integrated booking system into
the Alps Link service, according
to Dyson.
Alps Link is a bus service running
from Bright to Omeo via Hotham,
one of the most popular snow
resorts in Victoria, it states.
Jamie Dyson, regional services
manager of the Dyson Group,
believes the introduction of an
online booking system will make
it much easier for travellers all over
the globe to utilise the service.
“We had a pretty clunky booking

method in place that made it hard
for both our customers and our
administration staff,” Dyson said.
“This new system will give
customers access to book at any
time of the day, anywhere in the
world,” he explained.
A BETTER ALTERNATIVE
Alps Link is a nice change to
the notoriously pricey snow
tourism, the company says.
Being a government-owned
bus run, the service is a much
cheaper alternative to other
options, it explains.
A family of four using Alps Link
from Bright to Mt Hotham return
(including the mandatory resort
passes) costs $85.40. The next
cheapest bus option is $224, it says.
FUTURE EXPANSION
Alps Link currently runs three days
per week during winter. The Dyson
Group is hopeful of expanding the
service to seven days per week, as
the public becomes more aware of
the great value Alps Link offers, the
company says.
