Cardrona Alpine Resort

Founded in 1980, Cardrona’s 3 vast basins are home to NZ’s first cabin-style lift – the McDougall’s Express Chondola, & the Southern Hemisphere’s most extensive terrain parks & pipes. Wide, open trails offer some of NZ’s best snow conditions, thanks to high altitude & an innovative snow management system.

Whilst known as New Zealand’s most popular ski area, there’s more to Cardrona Alpine Resort than meets the eye. Strip back the snow in summer and experience the wide-open slopes in a whole new light. Catch a lift to the top of the Southern Alps & before dialing up the excitement & tearing down the hill on a vast network of mountain bike and gravity carting trails.
