Where Are You?
Falls Creek has two types of toilets: heated village facilities (winter) and basic alpine pit toilets (backcountry). Here's what to expect.
Skiing in the village bowl
Village Day Parking toilets
Heated, maintained during ski season. Near the main lifts and village centre.
The village is car-free in winter — everything is ski-in/ski-out. The day parking toilet is your first and last stop. Most lodges and restaurants also have customer facilities.
On the ski runs
Cloud 9 (High 5 run)
The only on-mountain toilet outside the village. Basic but functional.
Cloud 9 is the mid-mountain option. If you're skiing the Summit area or Ruined Castle, you'll need to ski back to the village — there's nothing else up top.
Driving up from Mount Beauty
Howmans Gap (halfway)
The only toilet between Mount Beauty and the village. 15km from each.
Howmans Gap is where you fit chains in winter. It has the best accessibility of any Falls Creek facility — purpose-built for people with disabilities. Use it before the final steep climb.
Mountain biking (summer)
Village toilets
Falls Creek has an extensive mountain bike trail network in summer.
The village toilets stay open for mountain bikers, hikers, and summer visitors. The backcountry huts also have pit toilets if you're riding the High Plains trails.
Backcountry hiking / camping
Alpine hut pit toilets
10 bush camping areas with basic pit toilets across the Bogong High Plains.
These are composting or pit toilets at alpine camping areas. No water, no lighting, no heating. Bring your own toilet paper. Most are a significant hike from any road.
Cross-country skiing (Pretty Valley)
Pretty Valley Precinct
Basic facility at the cross-country trail head. May be snow-covered.

Is there a wheelchair accessible toilet at Falls Creek?
Howmans Gap Alpine Accessible Centre (2587 Bogong High Plains Road) is specifically designed for people with disabilities and has accessible toilet facilities.
