Description

Overview: Tawonga Huts, Falls Creek and Iconic Lunch

In the morning after the evening briefing, the tour departs from Pretty Valley Ski Lodge with camping equipment and supplies for the overnight tour.

We will ski through the resort of Falls Creek to Ruined Castle lift where we will then enter the back country by following the Mc kay Loop Road down to Pretty Valley Pondage and historical cattle yards.

A gradual assent to the Ben Cooper memorial takes one and half hours before descending to our camp of Tawonga Huts, established by John Ryder sometime prior to 1888.

By utilising Tawonga Huts as our base camp, we will have two days to explore, selecting either the gentler or steeper terrain that surrounds Tawonga Huts under the peak Mt Jaithamathang, according to your ability, fitness level, weather and/or group wish.

On the second day the tour returns with a ski back down to Pretty Valley Pondage before ascending the Rocky Knolls to ski back into Falls Creek Resort and arrive at the iconic Falls Creek Hotel for a counter lunch overlooking the summit of Falls Creek.
