About Falls Creek Snowmobile Tours
Falls Creek Snowmobile Tours is Australia's only guided self-drive snowmobile tour operation, offering visitors the chance to pilot their own snowmobile through the stunning alpine backcountry surrounding Falls Creek Resort. Founded by local legends Doug and Norzie — who between them have spent decades living and working in Victoria's High Country — the company runs small-group tours that take riders past iconic landmarks including Mt McKay, The Summit, and Frying Pan Spur, with panoramic views across the Bogong High Plains that you simply cannot access on skis or foot.
Tour options include day rides and twilight tours that venture into the backcountry as the sun drops behind the ranges, creating a magical alpine atmosphere. Group sizes are capped at 15 riders to maintain a personal experience, and all tours include full safety briefings, helmets, and warm riding gear. No prior snowmobile experience is required — the machines are automatic and easy to operate, with guides leading the convoy at a pace that suits the group. A passenger option is available for those who prefer to sit back and soak in the scenery rather than drive.
What makes Falls Creek Snowmobile Tours special is the combination of accessibility and genuine wilderness immersion. Unlike resort-based snow activities that stick to groomed terrain, these tours take you deep into the alpine backcountry where the only tracks in the snow are yours. Doug and Norzie's local knowledge — from wildlife spotting to High Country history — transforms each ride into an interpretive experience rather than just a thrill ride. It's consistently one of the highest-rated winter activities at Falls Creek.
