Falls Creek Alpine Resort is located in Victoria&rsquo;s High Country, about 350 km northeast of Melbourne, and sits within the stunning Alpine National Park. With 450 hectares of skiable terrain, 90 trails, and 15 lifts&mdash;including quad chairs, triple chairs, and surface lifts&mdash;it&rsquo;s one of Australia&rsquo;s most expansive and well-integrated ski resorts. The base elevation starts at 1,400 meters and climbs to 1,780 meters, offering a vertical drop of 380 meters. The resort receives an average of 400 cm of snowfall annually, supported by a robust snowmaking system that ensures reliable coverage across the season. The terrain breakdown includes 17% beginner, 60% intermediate, and 23% advanced runs, making Falls Creek a haven for cruisers and confident skiers alike. Families will appreciate the snow play areas, tubing lanes, and dedicated learning zones, while terrain parks and night skiing add extra excitement for teens and freestyle riders. The longest run stretches 3 km, winding through scenic alpine terrain that showcases the resort&rsquo;s natural beauty. What makes Falls Creek stand out is its pedestrian-only village and true ski-in/ski-out layout. With lodging, dining, and lifts all within walking distance, visitors enjoy a seamless alpine experience. Whether you're chasing powder turns, exploring glades, or relaxing fireside after a day on the slopes, Falls Creek offers a balanced blend of adventure and comfort in a uniquely Australian setting.

Falls Creek is accessible by car from Melbourne (approximately 4.5 hours) via the Hume Highway and Great Alpine Road. The nearest airport is Albury Airport, about 1 hour and 45 minutes away, offering regional flights and shuttle connections to the resort. For those flying into Melbourne, coach services and private transfers are available, with stops in nearby towns like Mt Beauty and Howman&rsquo;s Gap.
Once at the resort, a free village shuttle operates daily during the snow season, connecting key areas from Slalom Plaza to the Village Bowl. The resort is car-free, so oversnow transport is used to reach accommodations from the arrival terminal. Parking is available at designated lots outside the village, and ski-in/ski-out access is standard for most lodging.

Falls Creek offers over 4,000 beds across its alpine village, with options ranging from self-contained apartments and commercial lodges to boutique chalets and ski clubs. Families can choose spacious units with kitchens and proximity to beginner slopes, while couples enjoy cozy retreats with mountain views and spa amenities. Group travelers benefit from multi-room lodges and shared facilities. For luxury seekers, there are upscale properties with fine dining, wellness centers, and direct lift access. Off-mountain accommodations are also available in Mt Beauty and Bogong Village, just a short drive away.

&nbsp;
Falls Creek&rsquo;s terrain is spread across a series of interconnected bowls and ridgelines, offering 49 km of skiable trails and a vertical drop of 380 meters. The resort&rsquo;s lift system includes 15 lifts that efficiently connect all zones, making it easy to explore without long traverses or bottlenecks.
Beginners will feel at home on trails like &ldquo;Wombats Ramble,&rdquo; Australia&rsquo;s longest green run, which stretches 2.2 km and is perfect for building confidence. The base area near Slalom Plaza features gentle slopes and surface lifts ideal for first-timers and ski school participants.
Intermediate skiers dominate the mountain, with 60% of terrain tailored to cruisers. Runs like &ldquo;Drovers Dream&rdquo; and &ldquo;Highway 83&rdquo; offer rolling descents with wide turns and consistent pitch. These trails are groomed daily and provide scenic views of the Bogong High Plains.
Advanced skiers can challenge themselves on &ldquo;Summit,&rdquo; &ldquo;International,&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Maze,&rdquo; which feature steeper pitches, moguls, and natural terrain features. These areas hold snow well and offer dynamic skiing across varied conditions.
Freestyle riders have four terrain parks to choose from, including Castle Park and Drovers Park. Each park is designed for progression, with features ranging from beginner boxes to intermediate rails and kickers. The parks are maintained regularly and host seasonal events.
Natural highlights include snow gum glades, alpine bowls, and panoramic ridgelines. Mt McKay offers cat skiing access to off-piste terrain, while the Village Bowl provides a central hub for night skiing and apr&egrave;s activities. The diversity of terrain ensures that every skier&mdash;from cautious beginner to seasoned expert&mdash;finds their rhythm.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Start your day with a lap down &ldquo;Summit,&rdquo; especially after fresh snowfall. The upper ridgeline catches early light and offers crisp corduroy with sweeping views of the valley.
On powder days, head to &ldquo;The Maze.&rdquo; This tucked-away zone holds snow longer and features natural rollers and tree-lined pockets that reward adventurous skiers.
Midweek mornings&mdash;particularly Tuesdays and Thursdays&mdash;are ideal for quiet laps. The lift lines are minimal, and you&rsquo;ll have freer access to popular runs like &ldquo;International&rdquo; and &ldquo;Drovers Dream.&rdquo;
Families should make time for the Snowplay Park near Slalom Plaza. It&rsquo;s a safe, interactive zone with tubing lanes, mini jumps, and soft terrain features perfect for kids.
For a scenic cruise, take &ldquo;Highway 83&rdquo; in the late afternoon. The trail faces west and offers golden-hour views across the Bogong High Plains, making it a favorite for relaxed carving.
Apr&egrave;s-ski begins at the Village Bowl, where venues like The Man and Elk at Falls offer live music, hearty mountain fare, and outdoor fire pits. Wednesdays and Saturdays feature night skiing and fireworks, adding to the festive vibe.
Freestyle riders should hit Castle Park between noon and 2 p.m. when the landings soften and visibility improves. The jump line is spaced for smooth transitions and creative flow.
Looking for solitude? Try &ldquo;Cabbage Patch&rdquo; near the edge of the resort boundary. It&rsquo;s less trafficked and offers playful terrain with a mix of steeps and glades.
Book a snowcat tour to Mt McKay for a taste of backcountry adventure. The terrain is steeper and more rugged, with untouched powder and dramatic alpine views.
Before you leave, stop by the Falls Creek Information Centre for trail updates and gear rentals. Staff often share which lifts are running best and where snow conditions are holding up&mdash;especially helpful during variable weather windows.
