Falls Creek is Australia’s leading alpine training destination and the only serious option for a fully equipped training camp at altitude. The Alpine National Park is Victoria’s answer to training overseas. Up here dramatic peaks and alpine ridges form a spectacular location with road, trail and open water training options at 1600m+ above sea level. Falls Creek offers the convenience of a vibrant community base in the heart of the action only 4½ hours drive from Melbourne.

Altitude training may seem a sporting buzz-word but scientific opinion is settled on its benefits. Training at an altitude between 1500m and 1850m above sea level is regarded among athletes and sports scientists to deliver tangible physical benefits by increasing the delivery of oxygen through the blood. This level of altitude training is particular beneficial for middle and long distance athletes or those competing in endurance sports. A training program of between 10 to 14 days at altitude is considered best to maximise the benefits of altitude training.
