Mt Ruapehu: Ski either Whakapapa or Turoa ski field

Did you know that the biggest ski field in New Zealand is not located on the South Island but smack bang in the heart of the North Island?

Mt Ruapehu in Tongariro National Park is home to two commercial ski fields, Turoa and Whakapapa. Together, they make up a massive skiing area that’ fun for both beginners and advanced skiers and snowboarders.

Whakapapa has a fantastic beginners area: Happy Valley is perfect for your first swings. Or for your first run after a longer skiing break to make sure you still got it. Overall, both Mt Ruapehu ski fields offer over 1000ha of rideable area and 6 chair lifts, 3 T-bars, 2 platter lifts and 5 conveyor belts. The newest addition to Whakapapa is Sky Waka, the gondola that takes skiers and sightseers to 2020m.

Your ski pass is valid for both Whakapapa and Turoa ski fields. The best way to decide which side of the mountain is better to ride is to check out the webcams on the day and have a look at the weather forecast.

Your accommodation in Tongariro National Park Village

Plateau Lodge is located in the heart of Tongariro National Park Village. The village is about 40 minutes away from Whakapapa ski field and just over an hour from Turoa ski field.

At Plateau Loge, you’ll find a range of accommodation types which are ideal for couples, groups of friends and families. And from July, you can choose to stay in one of their new glamping pods.

After a tiring day in the snow, you’ll just love a soak in the private spa pool. Cook and eat your own meal in the cosy communal area. Or if you feel like going out, restaurants and popular Schnapps Bar are only a few minutes walk away.
