In recent years we have expanded this reputation offering a range of additional snow based activities designed specifically for first timers and families. These fun and affordable options are giving more people the opportunity to experience the excitement of an alpine holiday – especially those on a budget.
Additionally, over the last decade the Resort’s reputation has grown at a rapid rate as an ideal all seasons tourism destination. Our unique natural terrain (anchored by Australia’s highest major body of water – the Rocky Valley Lake) combined with built features such as the recently sealed Bogong High Plains Road and $2.0 million of mountain bike trails (currently being developed), has created the ideal tourism and leisure destination for all every season of the year.
Nowhere else in Australia can you experience the country’s only true ski-in- ski-out village in winter, develop your ski and snowboarding skills on “progression perfect” trails, explore 65km of cross country ski trails, sail on the country’s highest major lake in summer, drive to
the highest road in the country, trek the “Alpine Crossing”, explore the historic cattlemen’s huts or experience world class road cycling and mountain biking.
For athletes and sporting teams, Falls Creek offers a world class affordable altitude training environment. Our Resort has hosted some of the most successful names in sport over recent years including the Geelong Cats and Collingwood Magpies (AFL), Simon Gerrans (Tour de’ France Stage Winning Cyclist), Craig Mottram (Olympic athlete) and the VIS Rowing Squad.
If adventure or sport is not what you desire, you just might want to escape, let the world go by and relax in the serenity of Australia’s pristine High Country.
Seeing is believing at Falls Creek. We encourage you to “head to the hills” for an experience you’ll never forget – no matter what time of the year!
Welcome
> For decades, Falls Creek has been regarded by “people in the know” as one of Australia’s best loved ski resorts. This reputation certainly holds true, with our diverse range of skiable terrain and unique alpine village continuing to attract visitors.
