Cardrona Alpine Resort

Founded in 1980, Cardrona Alpine Resort is New Zealand's most popular ski area, where everyone's a VIP – from beginners & families, to Olympic & X Games athletes. 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. Take an easy drive from Queenstown or Wanaka & be welcomed with genuine Kiwi hospitality. In the summer months Cardrona is open for mountain biking, carting, conferences & other alpine adventure activities. Cardrona is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Real Journeys Ltd.
