Falls Creek
Falls Creek Alpine Resort
A high-altitude ski village where many accommodation options offer ski-in, ski-out access, with mostly intermediate and beginner runs suited to families. In summer it has alpine wildflowers and mountain bike trails.
Falls Creek sits on the edge of the Bogong High Plains at an elevation of about 1,600 to 1,780 metres. It is one of Victoria's largest ski resorts. Most hotels and apartments in the village allow ski-in, ski-out access. The runs are wide, with a high proportion of intermediate and beginner terrain, and the resort also offers cross-country ski trails and night skiing. In winter the drive from Bright over Tawonga Gap to Mount Beauty and then up the mountain takes about 1.5 hours (in winter you must approach from the Mount Beauty side and carry snow chains). In summer you can drive the Bogong High Plains Road to Rocky Valley Lake, hike to the century-old Wallace's Hut, or ride the downhill mountain bike trails. Falls Creek is also one of Australia's high-altitude training bases.
