Introducing Falls Creek
Falls Creek is the most fashion-conscious and upmarket ski resort in Australia, combining a picturesque alpine setting among the snow gums with impressive skiing and infamous après-ski entertainment. Hordes of city folk make the 4½-hour journey from Melbourne at weekends during the ski season.

The skiing is spread over two main areas, the Village Bowl and Sun Valley. There are 19 lifts: 17% beginner, 60% intermediate and 23% advanced runs. The downhill area covers 451 hectares with a vertical drop of 267m. Night skiing in the Village Bowl operates several times a week.
You’ll also find some of Australia’s best cross-country skiing here. A trail leads around Rocky Valley Pondage to old cattlemen’s huts, and the more adventurous can tour to the white summits of Nelse, Cope and Spion Kopje. These also provide walking routes in summer. The summit chairlift operates from 27 December to mid-January for walkers and mountain-bike riders.
