MT RUAPEHU SKI AREAS

In winter, the ski resorts of Mount Ruapehu are very popular and allow you to ski down the slopes of a volcano, which is a rare experience. In summer, guided hikes are organized. At Whakapapa, the chairlift arrival is at 2,020 meters and also allows to enjoy the unique volcanic landscape. At the top is the architecturally remarkable Knoll Ridge Café. After a hard day's hike, it's the perfect place to sip a well-deserved beer while gazing out over the imposing expanse of the national park.
