Whakapapa and Tūroa's sledding areas are now closed for the 2023 season.
Both Whakapapa and Tūroa have dedicated sledding areas, with a gentle slope and up to three lanes. At Whakapapa, a magic carpet transports you back to the top.
Sledding sessions are 1 hour long, and give you access to a sled and the sledding area to slide down and come back up as many times as you'd like within your session. There are limited spots available, so it is always recommended to book.
