Domesticated animals in the alpine environment can pose significant risks to wildlife and native ecosystems. In addition to these environmental concerns, pets can also create hygiene and safety issues within the resort. For this reason, cats, dogs, and horses are generally not permitted in the resort.

However, under specific circumstances, Falls Creek residents may be eligible to keep dogs with a paid permit issued by Alpine Resorts Victoria Falls Creek. Cats and horses remain strictly prohibited.

Permits are available only to qualified residents, employees, or business owners, and successful permit holders must adhere to the Falls Creek Dog Policy. This policy restricts when and where dogs can be present to minimize impacts on our native wildlife and ecosystems.
