Falls Creek on mountain accommodation had an interesting start. Initially called Horseshoe Creek by mountain cattlemen, the first Falls Creek accommodation was a single state electricity hut. The area grew as workers came in to build the hydro-electricity scheme at Kiewa and from there – it's all history. Now, Falls Creek is the most popular snow resort in Victoria.
Falls Creek Resort has a relaxed, friendly environment, great for children and beginners, with some of the most challenging expert terrain in Australia at nearby Mt McKay and cross country snow fields to rival Europe.
Falls Creek, Australia, also hosts the Southern Hemisphere's largest international snow sports event and enjoys its well-founded reputation.
Falls Creek hotels and chalets are fully ski in ski out and the range of accommodation is extensive. Choose from a Swiss-Austrian Falls Creek lodge, a family-friendly hotel complete with ski hire, swimming pool, sauna and spa or one of the self-contained Falls Creek apartments accommodating up to 12 people. You might like a relaxed country club environment instead. This hasn't scratched the surface of the dozens of venues, many opened year round.
To enjoy a world of fly-fishing, wineries, mountain biking or hiking tracks summer and winter, within easy distance of Australia's best skiing, bunking down at one of the many Falls Creek off mountain accommodation options is the perfect way to go.
Nearby Bright is a stiff contender for Australia's most picturesque town and offers numerous motels apartments and cottages, as does the stunning Kiewa Valley, Mt Beauty or Bogong Village.
