3 Peaks Challenge Transport Options

With the event village of Falls Creek located in Victoria's magnificent Alpine Region, getting to and from the event are important considerations in preparing for your 3 Peaks Challenge.  We have worked with our transport operator to provide you with the following options for getting to and from this years event.

Getting to the 3 Peaks Challenge

Although we recommend and encourage participants to travel to and stay in Falls Creek, the event village, we are also providing transport options for anyone who is planning to stay in nearby Mount Beauty or Bright.

 

We also reccommend that you box your bike for transport.

Event Parking at Falls Creek & Dinner Plain

For those of you who are planning on driving up to Falls Creek, we will be providing short and long term parking at both Falls Creek and Dinner Plain. 

At Falls Creek, simply follow the signage and directions provided by Falls Creek Staff and you will be directed to one of the car parks.  Falls Creek Village itself will have restricted vehicle access to ensure safety for pedestrian and bicycle access.  If you are planning on driving up to Falls Creek on the morning of the event, we will have short term parking located at Falls Creek, however you must have left Mount Beauty by no later than 5:30 to ensure you avoid the Road Closure in place for the event.

Parking at Dinner Plain will be indicated by signage and if you have any problems, please talk to one of our friendly volunteers on site in Dinner Plain.
