Winter in Wanaka means snow, and if snowsport is your passion, then Wanaka is the place to be in New Zealand with four ski resorts within a 35 minute drive:

Cardrona Alpine Resort is a highly developed family orientated centre with slopes for beginners, wide open areas for intermediate skiers and an extensive terrainpark.

Advanced skiers and boarders prefer Treble Cone where steep terrain combined with outstanding views makes for an awesome experience. And you may meet famous ski racer Hermann Maier preparing for the next Olympics!

Snow Park is a new and unique resort for dedicated snowboarders and freeriders, featuring huge halfpipes and jumps. There is also a new restaurant with great views across the park.

Snowfarm is the only Nordic Ski Centre in New Zealand, and has 55 km of world class groomed trails for both classic and skate skiing. Enjoy excellent food in the restaurant while overlooking the Southern Alps.
