Whakapapa, on the north-western slopes of Mt Ruapehu, is NZ’s largest developed ski area. Within the 550 hectare (1360 acres) boundary there is excellent skiing and boarding for all levels.

Whakapapa boasts all services and amenities that you would expect to find at any international ski area. Happy Valley is a complete learner’s area that is separate to the main skiing area so beginner’s can progress in a safe environment.

There are 30 groomed trails and a huge variety of off-piste areas which those with intermediate experience of skiing and snowboarding will love.

As snowboarding and free skiing have literally reached new heights, there is a beginner and intermediate Terrain Park.

For non-skiers who don’t want to miss out on playing in the snow there is a tobogganing and tubing area for your sliding pleasure!
