Taking a vacation to the snowy village of Falls Creek is about more than just skiing – you are in another world, and there are so many other activities to make your journey a surreal experience.
Whilst we love exciting downhill action, between runs there are many things to do to enjoy your vacation, delight your senses, indulge and relax.
With St Falls Resort being so central to the village, there is so much to do just outside your door, so make sure you investigate the many other activities that will enrich your visit to our mountain village.
There is no better start to a day than to enjoy a warm breakfast overlooking the stunning vista that is Falls Creek. Pair a feast for the eyes with one for the soul, and cradle a hot beverage while watching the sun rise over crisp peaks, from the balcony or wide windows of the 1550 Café.
You’re feeling warm and nourished, what a great way to guarantee a great start to the day!
Fun as it is to let gravity be your guide down the popular slopes, you could also go on your own adventure, take out the long skis for a discovery trek along the countryside. There are many groves, lakes and lookouts to explore, and more than a few opportunities to appreciate nature, and find the awe that you are looking for.
Expand your snow experience beyond the slopes. Swap your skis for snowshoes and embark on a guided tour along gorgeous trails with a fun social group. Visit Rocky Valley Lake taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the winter wilderness whilst connecting with nature and fellow adventurers.
A snowfield holiday can create memories for children that last a lifetime! The pure joy and thrill of tobogganing down a slope or learning to master skiing or snowboarding are experiences they will cherish and take with them throughout their lives.
Kids can learn to ski with Skiclub, which introduces children aged 3-6 years to the joys and skills of skiing joining kids their own age and making new friends along the way!
Together they can toboggan or pile onto a rubber tube inventing new ways to race down the slopes on child-friendly basins, for snow-fuelled mayhem of fun.
Falls Creek hosts many child-friendly activities within the village, such as the snowman-making competition every Wednesday and Saturday.
As a special highlight, every Tuesday from 3:30pm the Village Bowl becomes a delightful social event for the kids with many different games including fire pits, marshmallows and dancing, all encouraged by Pete the Snow Dragon and his many helpers to guide the kids into enjoying their time with other kids.
For those who chasing even more excitement while on their trip, there are many options to give yourself a special and thrilling experience at Falls Creek.
If you love snowboarding, you must visit one of our many Terrain Parks at Falls Creek where you can shred the turns, grind a few edges and get airborne off jumps and pipes.
Book yourself a trip on a snowmobile, and head out into the great white wonderland. Zoom up the slopes, way past the skiers and find remote places away from the crowd.
You can discover a remote spot just for you where you can park your snowmobile and soak in the serenity. Take your time, pull out your thermos lunch to enjoy while drinking in that landscape.
Catch a ride on the Falls Creek helicopter for a thrilling flight over the snowy mountains and valleys.
Time for some pampering? Slow down and treat yourself to some healing of the mind, body and soul.
Book yourself into the day spa, and pamper yourself with a hot sauna, soothing massage or rejuvenating facial mud pack.
Or once you come in from the snowy outdoors, pour yourself into a relaxing hot tub and soak in the beautiful view of the slopes, perhaps with a cup of warm sake.
Once you have thawed and relaxed, many fine restaurants are all within easy reach of St Falls Creek Resort, each offering delicious food, drink, warmth and entertainment.
Head into one of Falls Creek’s many live venues to either catch some acoustic guitar with a whisky by a warming fire, or some up-beat lounge music over cocktails.
Our own Powderkeg sports bar is excellent for live entertainment, good beers and wine with well-loaded fries.
After your succulent meal, once the stars come out, there is still more left to do in our cosy little mountain village at night!
Wombat’s Rumble is the longest ski run in Australia and is equipped with lights down the entire length. Twice a week these are lit up at night so you can enjoy the surreal experience of a gentle ski under the starry sky.
Every Thursday you can gather at the Village Bowl for the best view as the night’s sky is lit up with a spectacular fireworks display.
This is accompanied by exhibitions of expert skiers putting on a show of their best leaps and tricks.
After all that, head back to your suite to unwind and relax. Just climb into a steamy hot tub with a view that will relax you even further! This is a fabulous way to reflect on your day before getting some well-earned rest and get ready for the next day!
