Falls Creek is set high in the Alps of northeast Victoria. A Falls Creek day trip takes less than two hours from Albury-Wodonga and four and a half hours from of Melbourne. Best known as one of Australia’s favourite ski resorts, Falls Creek holiday packages are popular all year round - not just in the winter!
Falls Creek is situated on the slopes surrounding the Bogong High Plains part of the Great Diving Range. At an elevation of 1,580 metres, it offers breathtaking views with consistent snowfall in winter. Victoria’s largest ski resort, it’s a popular spot for all levels of skiers and families in particular love a Falls Creek holiday.
Falls Creek is part of Australia’s ancient alpine landscape, a place of stunning beauty. It boasts the largest skiable area in the state, covering 450 hectares, with 90 downhill runs. The official snow season at Falls Creek runs from the Queen's Birthday weekend in June through to the start of October with the season peaking in July and August.
Adventure lovers head to Falls Creek and Victoria’s other popular ski resorts - Mount Buller, Mount Hotham, Mount Buffalo and Dinner Plain for exciting activities such as downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and tobogganing.
Falls Creek was established in 1940 as a base for State Electricity Commission workers who were building the Kiewa Hydro Electric Scheme. In 1947, six workers secretly built a ski hut. It didn’t take long however for the word to get out and the first ski lift was built in 1951, and Falls Creek soon gained a reputation as an excellent ski destination.
Falls Creek may be one of Australia's premier winter destinations, but a visit to this pretty alpine village in summer is just as appealing. In the warmer seasons, you can explore the area by a mountain bike, electric bike or scooter.
The Seven Peaks Challenge is a 160-kilometre bike race where cyclists climb more than 7,000 metres to seven peaks of Victoria’s High Country. You might prefer to travel at a slower pace on one of the many picturesque hiking trails through the Alpine National Park and Bogong High Plains.
Take a ‘refreshing’ dip under a waterfall or a relaxing kayak or stand up paddleboard on Rocky Valley Lake. Try your hand at ‘Disc Golf’ - a cross between golf and frisbee while you walk in nature. The Falls Creek course has nine ‘pole holes’ and is played around the scenic Nordic Bowl, famous in winter for cross-country skiing.
It’s the perfect stop before heading up to Falls Creek. In the heart of the Alpine National Park, Mount Beauty sits at the foot of Victoria’s highest mountain, Mount Bogong and is the perfect spot before heading up to Falls Creek.
There are year-round activities and adventures on offer at Falls Creek. If you want to catch some snow, head up for the official snow season starting on the Queen's Birthday weekend in June and running through until the start of October. The area receives its highest snowfall in the months of July and August.
The origin of the name Falls Creek doesn’t come with a compelling story. It was simply named Falls Creek due to the waterfalls found in the area.
The Jaithmathang First Peoples are the Traditional Custodians of the alpine peaks and high plains of the Falls Creek area.
