Peaks Challenge Falls Creek 2027

The wind and weather on Peaks Challenge Falls Creek

Peaks Challenge Falls Creek is one of Australia’s hardest one-day rides: 235 km and more than 4,000 m of climbing over Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham and the back of Falls Creek, starting and finishing in Falls Creek Village with a 13-hour time limit.

The 06:45 start is at about 1,500 m, so it’s often cold for the long descent to Mount Beauty, while the valleys can pass 30°C by the afternoon. Wind on the exposed Hotham and Dinner Plain high country and on the final climb to the high plains can make a long day longer, and early-March afternoons can bring storms in the Alps. Set your pace above: the forecast follows the hours you’ll actually be riding. The wind on every stretch of the course appears once the route is added to this page.
