Falls Creek is Victoria’s largest alpine resort, Australia’s only true ski-in ski-out village, and covers over 450 hectares.
The village has an integrated lift system, a snowboard terrain park, and extensive snowmaking and slope grooming. Learn-to-ski and snowboard programs are offered for all ages and at all stages. Childcare facilities are available for children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age.
Families can also enjoy snow bikes, backcountry snowmobiles, the snowshoe shuffle, or try the snow tube park. There are lots of free activities for kids. Kat skiing or boarding the slopes of Mt. Mckay, and the Heli-link to Mt. Hotham are great options for more adventurous skiers.
Falls Creek is also the official training centre of the national cross-country ski team. Trails are cut and marked, and hire and lessons are also available. Cross-country skiing is free! Access to trails is from directly behind Red Onion.
Ski shops, rental outlets, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, day spa, supermarket and bottle shop…even a museum, complete the picture.
