About Mt Olympus

  Distance from Christchurch Airport: 125km, approximately 2.5 hours

Mt Olympus delivers an unforgettable experience. 

Known as the soul of New Zealand freeride skiing, the terrain is suited to intermediate to advanced skiers with mellow bowls and big mountain lines, entirely groomer free.

There’s a learner’s area but it requires an adventurous beginner to conquer the access rope tow.

The Top Hut offers ski-in, ski-out accommodation and is a popular place to stay with a lively and fun atmosphere. It’s fully catered and home of the famous Far Canal Bar and Mt O hot-tub.

Mt Olympus Ski Weeks are legendary and themed for all ages and stages.
