| Driving
Driving
takes approx eight hours from
Sydney
and four hours from Melbourne Tullamarine. Snow chains must be
carried throughout the declared ski season. If you are driving a
hire car check the rental conditions carefully as some hire car
companies will not provide insurance above the snow line.
It can also be a good idea to put anti freeze in your radiator.
If
driving from
Melbourne
, the preferred route and the one that the coach companies use
is
Hume Highway
to Wangaratta Bypass, through Myrtleford then the road to Falls
Creek. See Maps page.
If
driving from
Sydney
, the preferred route is via Albury, then through
Mount
Beauty
to Falls Creek.
Car
parking and hire of snow chains are costs that should also be
considered.
Driving
and Coach
Another
option is to drive your car to Mt Beauty and take the Falls
Creek Coach up the mountain. This means that you don't have to
organise snow chains, anti freeze or resort entry fees (they are
included in the fare) but it does mean that you are subject to
the coach timetable.
Air
and Coach
Qantas
and Regional Express and Virgin Blue all fly to
Albury
Airport
and Falls Creek Coaches offer a pickup service from the Albury
airport, Melbourne Tullamarine and
Spencer Street
.
Limousine
Transfers
Why
not enjoy a bit of luxury en route to Falls Creek? Stretch
limousine transfers are available from Melbourne Tullamarine,
Albury and rural Victoria. Some interstate flights have long
connection times for the coach so Limousine Transfers can make
sense, especially if you are travelling with a group.
Arriving
at Falls Creek
If
driving, drive into the Oversnow terminal which is approx 200m
past the Information Centre at the bottom of the Gully
Chairlift. From here a Resort Management staff member will
direct you to the appropriate parking and deliver you back to
the terminal. Proceed through with your luggage and purchase
your ticket. See FallsCreek.com.au site for current Entry &
Oversnow prices.
