Cardrona Alpine Resort

Founded in 1980, Cardrona Alpine Resort is New Zealand's most popular ski area, where everyone's a VIP - from beginners and families, to Olympic and X Games athletes. Cardrona's three vast basins are home to New Zealand's first cabin-style lift - the McDougall's Express Chondola, and the southern hemisphere's most extensive terrain parks & pipes. W... ide, open trails offer some of the country's best snow conditions, thanks to high altitude and an innovative snow management system. Take an easy drive from Queenstown or Wanaka and be welcomed with genuine Kiwi hospitality. In the summer months Cardrona is open for mountain biking, carting, conferences and other alpine adventure activities. Cardrona recently purchased the rights to the Soho Ski Area and intends to expand into the Soho Basin. With over 900ha of skiable terrain, Cardrona-Soho will be the largest single ski area in the country.Read More
