Lodge life
A day at the lodge
The lodge runs on a timetable, loosely. Ski as much or as little as you like — there's always soup, a dry pair of gloves and someone to lose at cards to.

- Boot room opensWarm boots off the rack, a long bench for the whole family.
- First chairSki out the back door and down the Butter Bowl.

The drying room
Boots on the warm rack, gloves on the pegs, beanies bone-dry by breakfast. It runs from 4pm to 8am, every day of the season.
Fondue night
Wednesdays and Saturdays: a pot of melted cheese on every table, bread cubes, pickles and one house rule — drop your bread, you lead the singalong.

Summer on the high plains: we open on weekends from December to March for bushwalkers and riders (sample dates).
By car, coach and over-snow
Getting here
Falls Creek sits on the edge of the Bogong High Plains in Victoria's north-east. The last stretch from Mount Beauty climbs about 30 km of bends — take it slow and enjoy the view.
- Chains when required
Carry snow chains in winter and fit them in the marked bays when the signs say so. Hire places in the valley can show you how.
- Over-snow to the door
In winter the lodge is reached over snow. Park in the village car park and book the over-snow taxi — it drops you at our boot room.
- Resort entry
Alpine resort entry fees apply to vehicles in the snow season. Sort yours out before you drive up.
- Coaches & shuttles
Seasonal coaches run from Melbourne and Albury. We're a short walk from the village drop-off.
General information only — conditions change quickly in the mountains. Check the official alpine road and weather reports before you leave.

Good to know
Do I need to bring linen?
Private rooms come made up. In the Bunkhouse, hire linen for $20 a stay or bring a sleeping bag and pillowcase.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us when you book. Fondue night has a dairy-free pot and gluten-free bread on request.
Is there ski hire at the lodge?
No hire on site, but the village hire shops are a short walk (or slide) away, and your gear sleeps in our heated lockers.
What if the lifts are on hold?
Mountains are mountains. The fire's lit, the board games are out and the soup's on at 12:30.
