ABOUT US
The Snow Season
Falls Creek is a unique snow village that is closed to all traffic during the snow season - it has a great, friendly vibe and is a perfect hang out for families and groups of friends. It is truly a Ski in ski out village and perfectly beautiful to walk around - especially at night when you head out to find one of the many excellent restaurants and bars.
You don't have to go too far to find great places - there are wonderful restaurants near by.
Falls Creek boasts 65 kilometres of free cross-country trails, downhill skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, and terrain parks with some of the best rails and jumps around.
If you arrive by car you will need to purchase you National Parks Pass - best done online before you arrive - as it is cheaper. When you arrive you will be greeted by the Falls Creek Staff - they will direct you to unload your bags at the Oversnow Transport Centre - then you will park your car - they will follow you to give you a lift back.
Then when you are back at the Oversnow Transport Centre you can load up your gear and get a lift up to the accommodation (best to buy these tickers ahead of time too.
Everything is made easy by the super friendly staff.
