Catch the train from Melbourne

The train travels to Wangaratta where you catch the connecting VLine coach to Bright and a taxi service brings passengers the last 26km to Mount Beauty arriving about 5.30pm. The total cost from Melbourne, Southern Cross to Mount Beauty is around $46 one way, and tickets can be booked online or purchased from the VLine counter at Southern Cross Station.

If you are coming direct to Albury, there are daily flights to Albury from both Sydney and Melbourne international airports. From Melbourne, the coach is the best choice.

Car rental is another option 

The drive is on good roads, and takes just under five hours from Melbourne to Falls Creek. Drive north from Melbourne on the Hume Highway. Just before Wangaratta there is a McDonalds Restaurant, turn off the highway about 300 metres past McDonalds onto the Snowroad. Travel via Milawa to Myrtleford. Three kms after Myrtleford take the left hand route to Mount Beauty and on to Falls Creek. Carrying snow chains to Falls Creek is compulsory and can be hired at any of the ski shops in Mt. Beauty.

When renting a car, make sure that the rental company allows the vehicle to be taken to the snow and to have chains fitted. There may be additional charges for that. Driving a car to the snow outside the terms of your rental agreement could invalidate your insurance.
