CARDRONA

Higher, drier, naturally better. Located between Wanaka and Queenstown with a base elevation of 1670m above sea level, Cardrona is higher, colder and renowned for dry natural snow and wide, open slopes.

Cardrona is a great place for learners with 3 magic carpet lifts, a platter lift and a beginner quad chair. It’s also a favourite with families, providing complete solutions for children from 3 months to 12 years in three purpose-built facitilites.

Cardrona's halfpipes, gravity cross course and terrain park trails make it a popular playground with freestyle skiers and boarders. These facilities host a number of national and international events throughout the season. The resort opens on the 24th of June and operates until the 9th of October.
