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!!

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...

Asked Questions

Cardrona is closer to Wānaka than Queenstown. It is around 1 hour from Queenstown Airport (54km) and 45 minutes from Wānaka (35km).

Cardrona is great for beginners, with a specialised beginners’ area, First Timer Packages, and welcoming instructors ready to help you with your first slides on snow. Cardrona also has great progressive terrain, so when you’ve completed your first day, upskilling is a breeze. 

Easy: book more days. Whether it’s a Multi-Day Pass or a Season Pass, the only cure for home-time heartbreak is giving yourself time to ski it all—and locking it in early for the best price.

Treble Cone is located just 30 minutes from Wānaka in New Zealand's stunning Southern Alps. To get there, drive along Wānaka-Mount Aspiring Road, then take a left onto Treble Cone Access Road. The scenic 7km drive up the mountain offers breathtaking views. A free shuttle service is also available from the bottom of the mountain road if you prefer to sit back and enjoy the ride!

The longest run at Treble Cone is the High Street to Triple Treat trail, which stretches over 4km. This epic run offers a mix of terrain, making it a favourite for skiers and snowboarders looking to enjoy long, uninterrupted descents in stunning alpine surroundings.

They don’t disappear, they just have a total meltdown.

Cardrona and Treble Cone host a variety of events throughout the season, including ski and snowboard world cups, freeride events, terrain park jams, and fun family activities. Check the events calendar for the latest information and dates for both winter and summer seasons.

If you’re a confident skier or snowboarder, try our multi-day pass, which gives you access to both Cardrona and Treble Cone. You can choose up to 7 days and split your time between the two mountains however you like. If you’re new to snow sports, we recommend a First Timer Package at Cardrona, which is the best introduction to skiing or snowboarding.

Still not sure what pass is best for you? Read our guide to choosing a lift pass to help you decide and get the most out of your ski holiday!
