As winter sets in and things begin to cool down the ski resorts of Victoria and New South Wales begin to heat up! As usual the name on the tip of everyones tongues is Falls Creek, Victoria’s largest alpine village and one of the state’s most prominent tourist destinations. Whilst offering a range of activities throughout the year, its in winter that this snow resort really comes alive. With the snow season starting on the Victorian Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend and running through to October, now is the time to get booking that snowboarding holiday!
Falls creek is a true self contained resort village, so everything you may need or want to make your stay comfortable is easily available. The lodging throughout the resort is ski-in ski-out, and the ski lift takes you to the top of the slopes. There are a wide range of skiing and snow boarding terrains available that cater to beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers or snow boarders. And at Falls creek the fun doesnt stop when the sun goes down- in fact thats when it truly begins, as the bars and nightclubs open their doors to snow-weary holiday makers.
The great thing about this ski resort is that if the snowfall isnt adequate, they just make their own! Ideally situated next to a large lake that provides all the water they need for snow making, Falls Creek can guarantee that there will be snow.
Getting there involves a 4 and a half hour drive from Melbourne, or an easy days drive from Sydney. Alternatively you could fly into Albury, and pick up a car rental there. Coaches and buses also run into Falls from a number of destinations.
