The Ups Are Good. The Downs Are Even Better.

Nestled in the heart of the Southern Alps, just 1.5 hours from Christchurch, Craigieburn Valley Ski Area is one of New Zealand's most beloved club ski fields. Known for its steep chutes, wide open powder bowls and uncrowded runs, this is a mountain that rewards those who seek something a little more raw and real.

With terrain that straddles two distinct ridge lines and valleys, there's always something to discover- from hidden stashes only the locals know to the sweeping views from Wharamara Day Lodge, one of the finest alpine vantage points in the country.

Stay on the Mountain

Craigieburn's two lodges- Koroheke and Matuhi- sit nestled just below the treeline, right on the edge of the snow. Koroheke is the heart of the action, with cosy 6-person bunkrooms and private rooms, a well-stocked licenced bar, chef's kitchen serving dinner and breakfast, showers, a lounge and a drying room so your gear is warm and ready every morning. For those wanting a little more quiet, Matuhi Lodge sits just 20 metres away- perfect for small groups, families or couples seeking their own space while still being part of the Craigieburn magic.
