Australia's most complete alpine village
Falls Creek is Victoria's largest ski resort, covering 450 hectares of skiable terrain across 92 runs between 1,400m and 1,780m in the Alpine National Park of the Victorian Alps. The resort traces its origins to 1947, when workers from the Kiewa Hydro-Electric Scheme built the first ski lodge on the Bogong High Plains — a foundation that shaped the village's character as a genuine mountain community rather than a purpose-built resort. Falls Creek installed the first chairlift in Australia in 1957, and the resort has continued to mark firsts.
The terrain profile weights heavily toward intermediates at 60%, with 23% advanced and 17% beginner. The car-free village is entirely ski-in ski-out, with no private vehicles permitted inside the resort during the winter season. Falls Creek is also the home of Australian cross-country skiing, and the lift pass covers Mt Hotham and Dinner Plain, with a helicopter link between the two mountains available in approximately six minutes.
