Cardrona is an awesome alpine playground in the South Island’s Crown Range. Adrenalin junkies, step this way!

Cardrona has lots to brag about. The ski resort has the most extensive terrain parks and halfpipes in the Southern Hemisphere, for starters. It also has New Zealand’s highest mountain bike park. Long seasons, superb terrain and slopes and runs for all levels provide endless winter fun. Summer brings other activities to get your heart racing. Apart from mountain biking, you can give carting, hiking and stargazing a go. So much to do, so little time!
