Can I Bring My Pet?
Registered guide or assistance dogs are permitted and do not require a permit.
Whilst domestic animals like dogs and cats are treasured members of many families, in the alpine environment they present significant risks to wildlife and our native ecosystems.
Visitors are not permitted to bring pets into Falls Creek Alpine Resort or the surrounding Alpine National Park, as these are protected areas established by State and Commonwealth legislation to conserve biodiversity, native plants and animals, and their ecosystems.
You may encounter dogs at Falls Creek, but please be advised that these are pets of permitted residents or business operators who have fulfilled strict conditions and been issued a permit by Alpine Resorts Victoria Falls Creek.
As a guest, if you bring a pet without permission, you will face a fine and be required to remove your pet from the resort area. Resort Management Authorized Officers and Park Rangers have the authority to enforce this policy, and any costs associated with the removal of the pet will be the owner's responsibility.
In summer, pets are allowed to travel through the resort as long as they remain safely inside your vehicle. However, during winter, there is no access for through traffic, and pets are not permitted to be in vehicles within the resort.
If you are a local resident or business owner seeking more information on Falls Creek Resort’s pet policies and permit requirements, please refer to the Dogs at Falls Creek page.
