Directions

Falls Creek is 375Km from Melbourne with easy access gained via the Hume Freeway. Just outside Glenrowan (Look for McDonalds on the right) signs direct the ski traffic to all resorts in the area. At moderate speed, the journey takes about five hours, the last 32Km being sealed mountain road.

Brown Brothers winery at Milawa is a pleasant place to stop, stretch and maybe sample.

Parking

Parking is available at the base of the village with a fee charged, winter only, when entering the resort. Contact the Falls Creek Resort regarding entrance fees.

Parking is also available off mountain at Mt. Beauty.
This is also the last place chains, petrol and antifreeze are available.

Snow chains

Chains must be carried on the mountain during the snow season regardless of conditions.
Police are present on the mountain and all road rules apply within the village.

Bus service

Pyles Alpine Coaches run a service between Melbourne and Falls Creek via Bright on a regular basis. They also run a shuttle service up and down the mountain from Mt. Beauty.
An alternative method is to take a train to Albury and from there catch a bus to Falls Creek.

In-resort transport

During winter, the roads throughout the village are closed to traffic. This makes it possible to ski from the front door of the lodge to the lifts and back home again in the afternoon. However, there is no direct access to the lodge in winter by car.

There are two methods to gain access to the lodge from the car park.

1. Walk (this can be long and arduous)
2. Oversnow Transport. (this costs money!)

With a car load of baggage, the Oversnow is the suggested option. The Oversnow transport terminal can be found on the right side of the main road about 150m from the entrance of the resort. Back your car up to the terminal, unload and then park the car as directed.
