Getting to Falls Creek

In winter access to Falls Creek can only be made via the township of Mt Beauty. While in summer access by a fully sealed road can made from both Mt Beauty and Omeo on the east side of the Bogong Highplains. Both access roads feature stunning alpine scenery. During winter it is compulsory to carry snow chains, however, the road is regularly cleared of snow as required and chains are rarely fitted. There is NO petrol available at Falls Creek so make sure you fill up before you leave Mt Beauty or Omeo.

When you arrive - During winter, the roads in the Falls Creek Village are used as ski trails and closed to normal vehicles. To transport you and your luggage to Alpine View Apartments accommodation transfer vehicles are the only form of transport available.

Unload your luggage, buy your return ticket and book the time you would like the ATS to pick you up from Alpine View at the end of your stay. Drive your car to the opposite side of the road to the ATS terminal and wait at the sign saying 'Wait here for parking attendant'.
