It's a kind of magic
Our 2024 Winter Season opens from 1 June

Make Your Own Magic

One pass to access all facilities at Whakapapa, the magic mountain. Choose from weekday or weekend day, lower mountain or all mountain passes, depending on what you want to get out of your winter season.

2024 Day Passes

Day Passes are a great option for those planning to visit Whakapapa as a one off, or fewer than a handful of times in a season.

In 2024, our Day Passes are split by all mountain or lower mountain, which gives you access to our dedicated learner facility, Happy Valley, and the Rangatira Chairlift for progression.

You can also choose to visit on a weekday at a discounted rate, or weekend day. Day Passes are open dated, meaning you can use them any time throughout the season.
