Cardrona

Approximately mid way between the townships of Queenstown and Wanaka is the family friendly Cardrona Mountain Resort. Cardrona has some of the best quality natural snow in New Zealand and caters for Snowboarders and Skiers of all abilities.

The front side of the mountain includes world class terrain park facilities for the freestyle riders, halfpipes, and a popular boardercross track. The beginner facilities are very good giving riders the chance to make controlled progressions in technique and improve riding confidence. The backside of the mountain, known as Captains Basin, is characterised by wide sweeping bowls and chutes and some good off piste terrain.

The on mountain facilities and services at Cardrona are outstanding. This resort is home to various international competitions throughout the season.

After a day out to Cardrona we regularly stop at the famous Hotel in Cardrona Village for some enjoyable social reflection about the day's skiing and boarding.
