Falls Creek has a huge range of accommodation.

An incredible new facility has been built at Howmans Gap Alpine Lodge which offers unrivalled levels of accessibility for an alpine resort. The first of its kind facility located above the snowline in Australia, the $3.7 million Centre is underpinned by best practice in accessible design.

Fully wheelchair accessible accommodation is located within the Falls Creek Country Club. There is other accommodation with varying levels of accessibility which may meet your needs. It is best to discuss this directly with the accommodation provider or an accommodation booking service.

Transferring to Accommodation

For accommodation that is not directly accessible from the Bogong High Plains Road, an Accommodation Transfer Service (ATS) provides transport from the base terminal to your accommodation during the snow season. This is a paid service. More information on ATS is available here. The vehicles used by ATS are not currently wheelchair accessible. Contact ATS on (03) 5758 1203 to discuss your specific needs.

One of the features of Falls Creek in winter is that the village for a large part of the snow season has snow covered roads that provide a ski in ski out resort. Whilst being a great feature of the ski village, it inherently presents problems for people with limited accessibility, particularly if confined to a wheelchair.

There is a free shuttle service that runs during the day which provides access around a defined course in the village. Further information on the Village Shuttle can be found here. The Accommodation Transfer Service (ATS) also runs a taxi service throughout the village of an evening. Call (03) 5758 1203 for further information or to book a taxi service. Note that the vehicles used for the Village Shuttle and the taxi service are not currently wheelchair accessible.
