Explore the rich alpine history alive in the hills and aqueducts surrounding Falls Creek.

Falls Creek’s walking and hiking trails are second to none, exposing you to the beauty and majesty of the Bogong High Plains. Historic huts, regenerating fire-damaged snowgums and Mt Bogong itself are a constant reminder of the living spirit of the region.

There are a variety of walks to enjoy, from an easy 1/2 hour stroll to scenic vantage points to more challenging day or overnight hikes. Explore the High country’s undulating plains for the vibrant alpine wildflowers. Breathe the clean air and take in the beautiful views. If you are lucky just just might also catch a glimpse of wild brumbies or the rare mountain pygmy possum.

Before heading out, make sure you are well prepared, aware of any condition changes and let someone know where you are and when you expect to return.
