CHAIN HIRE
Mount Beauty is the closest town to Falls Creek and the best place to hire chains. Falls Creek Coach Service has chains for hire and gives lesson fitting them. For current pricing; Chain Hire.
Note: All vehicles MUST carry chains. It is a requirement by law. Failing to do so may incur a fine.
FUEL
Falls Creek does not have a fuel station. Mt Beauty, located approximately 33kms at the bottom of the mountain, is the closest fuel stop and all drivers should fill their vehicle up before making their way up the mountain. Mt Beauty fuel stations are open from 7am–7pm during the snow season 7 days a week.
In winter, diesel vehicles should fill up with Alpine Diesel from Mt Beauty or other local suppliers to ensure their vehicle works correctly in the cold conditions.
