Australasia's biggest vertical drop - 783m! We have a fantastic beginner’s area with wide gentle runs and plenty of space.
(845)

See Aoraki / Mt Cook towering above the Southern Alps, while the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo provide a stunning backdrop for your day on the snow. Our super wide undulating intermediate trails are just the right pitch to be exciting but not intimidating. For the more experienced, we offer Australasia’s Highest Vertical! Ride the Heritage Express Rope Tow to an elevation of 2133m and experience

a whopping 783m of vertical! The Heritage Express accesses wide open spaces, natural half pipes, chutes and some seriously steep terrain. Our snowsports instructors are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They provide expert tuition for beginner through to advanced skiers and snowboarders. Our group lessons are perfect for young ones to learn the basics or hone their skills with other children in a safe and fun environment. For the ultimate tuition, we offer private lessons. To get you up and going we offer First Timer Packages for those who have never tried skiing or snowboarding before. These cost $80 for children under 18 and $120 for adults and include a lift pass, rental equipment and a group lesson. We offer free lift passes for kids aged six and under, and reduced pricing for seniors 65 and over. It’s not unusual for us to have three generations from the same family out on the slopes. We have over 550 sets of ski and snowboard equipment for all ages, and our friendly staff will ensure you have the right gear for your needs. Our skis are from Rossignol and Salomon, and our boards are from Burton. Our licenced Café has expansive views of Lake Tekapo and the Southern Alps. There is ample seating, both indoors & outdoors, and a range of food and drink options. The “von Brown” is a quaint wee refreshment hut situated near the top of our main lift. Bask in the sun, soak up some of the best scenery around and share a yarn with the locals.
