OUR STORY
About Us
Falls Creek Snowmobile Tours has had the pleasure of guiding guests through the magnificent alpine landscape in the Bogong High Plains since the winter of 2001. Falls Creek Snowmobile Tours is truly unique; it’s the only business in Australia where people can drive their own snowmobile on a guided tour. We run an extremely well maintained fleet of Polaris snowmobiles with only ever up to eight venturing out per tour potentially allowing up to 15 guests at a time. Whether driving or sitting back as a passenger, these tours will be an experience.
Our guides are passionate about what they do. Their knowledge of the area is extensive with the majority having spent much of their working lives in this beautiful part of the world. Tour routes can vary slightly depending on weather and snow conditions. They can include the iconic vistas presented from the top of Mt McKay and the Frying Pan Spur or from Pretty Valley Road looking over Rocky Valley Dam. In harsh conditions the relatively sheltered route of Road 24, an area rarely seen by Falls Creek visitors, offers a spectacular drive. You venture from the treeless heights down through age old snow gums and with snow permitting you can descend nearly as far as Howmans Gap in amongst the majestic Alpine Ash.

TESTIMONIAL....The opportunity to see another side of Falls Creek, and view the surrounding mountains on a snowmobile, was awesome. Dougie was an exceptional guide giving great advice to novices on how to have fun and be safe at the same time. His knowledge of the area and opportunities to stop for photos was also excellent. A bucket list must!!
