About Falls Creek
|
 |
Set high in the Australian Alps in North East
Victoria, the Falls Creek region is renowned as the home of some of Australia's
most spectacular alpine scenery as well as some of the nation's best skiing
terrain. |
From small beginnings over 50 years ago, Falls Creek has developed into
a picturesque self contained village with a wide range of facilities and
services to ensure year round
enjoyment, including ski rental, retail outlets for ski and outdoor equipment,
supermarkets, medical centres, a pharmacy,
restaurants, coffee shops, cinema and
night spots with live entertainment.
|
The compact village has been designed to provide
easy access to all accommodation, facilities and ski slopes - the only
resort in Australia where you can genuinely ski right from your door to catch a
ski lift and ski back home again in normal snow conditions.
Falls Creek offers unparalleled ski conditions
with consistent snowfalls backed by extensive snowmaking facilities.
