"Thank you for some amazing memories!!"
We have enjoyed our family holiday to ski at Cardrona since 2013. Our kids are now grown up and still insist on coming with us each year. We love the skiing, and we love the people. Thank you for some amazing memories!!

In comparison to the other...The drive from Queenstown through the Crown Ranges was one of the coolest things I’ve done on my ski holiday. Cardrona is well-equiped, and had all the terrain I could ask for as an intermediate boarder. In comparison to the other resorts, I was impressed by the quality of the food and the customer service I received from the team.
