Falls Creek - Fast Facts

Falls Creek Alpine Village
Victoria's most exclusive ski resort
Falls Creek, 29 km south of Mt Beauty via a narrow and winding but scenic road, has a reputation as the state's most exclusive (and expensive) ski resort. It is certainly one of the most popular. It is located 363 km north-east of Melbourne via the Hume Freeway, Wangaratta and the Great Alpine Rd.

Those who prefer to avoid the hassle of driving on the narrow approach road in icy winter conditions may wish to leave their car at Mt Beauty and take one of the daily coaches (there are also daily coach services from Albury and Melbourne in the ski season).

The ski season opens on the Queen's Birthday weekend in June but the resort is open all year round and draws increasing custom in summer when the views are exceptional, the air is crisp and the wildflowers and snow gums are in bloom. Early January is an ideal time for walking and there are many tracks to explore (see below). Mountain biking, canoeing, sailing, fishing, horseriding, abseiling, archery, camping, environmental studies, orienteering, a ropes course, rafting, fishing, cable gliding, yoga and massage can all be enjoyed.
