About Falls Creek
Falls Creek is Victoria's most picturesque alpine resort, built on a broad plateau at 1600m with a compact ski-in ski-out village and a reputation for reliable snow and excellent groomed cross-country trails. The resort is named for the Rocky Valley Creek that cascades below the village, and is adjacent to the Rocky Valley Storage — a large reservoir with dramatic alpine scenery. In summer Falls Creek hosts Australia's premier alpine cycling and running events.
