Mt Ruapehu rises from the heart of New Zealand’s North Island, located in the Dual World Heritage, Tongariro National Park.
In summer, with the maunga laid bare of its winter coat, we offer sightseeing aboard the 1.8km Sky Waka gondola, with views across the Central Plateau, and down to the unique volcanic terrain, dining at 2020m, and marked walks.
In winter, we operate two ski areas - Whakapapa and Tūroa. Terrain is formed by solidified lava, making for some of the most exhilarating skiing and riding NZ has to offer.
Journey 1.8km up the northern face of Mt Ruapehu to 2020m, on the Sky Waka gondola.
The journey, both summer and winter, offers panoramic views of the volcanic landscape, out to neighbouring peaks of Mt Ngāuruhoe and Mt Tongariro, and across the central North Island.
Dine at the top in the Knoll Ridge Chalet.

Specific Beginner Area Passes to access dedicated learner facilities, Happy Valley (at Whakapapa) or Alpine Meadow (at Tūroa).
