Driving Tips
A good habit is to fill your car up before leaving Mount Beauty as there is no fuel available in Falls Creek
Ensure that you add antifreeze to your vehicle’s radiator in winter
Check that your vehicle’s battery is in good condition
Diesel vehicles should be filled with 'Alpine Mix' fuel, which is available in Mount Beauty
LP Gas vehicles perform best on petrol in alpine areas
Be sure to carry snow chains (it is a legal requirement) in winter
Consider using a ground sheet and gloves when fitting chains
Avoid sudden braking or acceleration on snow or ice
A windscreen scraper will go a long way to help clear ice from car windows
Bring a shovel to dig your car out of the snow when leaving (you never know when the next blizzard will hit)

Carrying Snow Chains
Carrying snow chains will not only keep you safe on the roads, but is a legal requirement in Victoria during winter. Before heading up the mountain make sure you hire out your Snow Chains at Ray's Ski Shop in Myrtleford.
Hiring a car
Hiring a vehicle is a great option if you're flying in from interstate or don’t have access to a vehicle. Pop Falls Creek in your GPS and in 4½ hours you will have arrived at your destination. Don’t forget to tell the hire company you're heading to the mountains as diesel vehicles require antifreeze. Chains will still be required on hire cars in winter as it is a legal requirement for all vehicles to carry them.
