The ski resorts near Bright Victoria are some of the state's best, with two leading alpine destinations just a short drive away. Both are brilliant, they just suit slightly different days and different skiers. Here's how to choose.
Mt Hotham
Known as the “powder capital,” Hotham is steeper and more advanced, with terrain that rewards confident skiers and boarders. The village sits at the top, so much of the resort skis down-and-up.
Falls Creek
Falls Creek offers Australia’s largest lift network and superb beginner and intermediate terrain, plus a top cross-country trail system. The ski-in, ski-out village is famously family-friendly.
Which to choose
- Beginners and families, Falls Creek’s gentle slopes and easy village layout
- Advanced skiers chasing powder, Mt Hotham’s steeper terrain
- Cross-country fans, Falls Creek’s extensive Nordic trails
