Winter in Aotearoa, New Zealand is not just about wrapping up in warm clothes, drinking hot chocolate and staying cosy indoors. While this is a nice way to fend off the winter chill, there are also plenty of outdoor activities to do that keep the blood flowing, the heart pumping and the excitement levels high. The Taupō region itself has an abundance of activities that are more than worth venturing outside for, including some of the best ski fields that New Zealand has to offer!
The ski fields
Just 1 hour and 20 minutes’ drive from Taupō is New Zealand’s largest ski field, the Whakapapa Ski Area - situated on Mount Ruapehu. With over 65 trails to explore, from beginner to intermediate to extreme, the Whakapapa Ski Area showcases the largest gondola and the highest restaurant/café in the country. It also hosts New Zealand’s best and biggest beginner ski, snowboard and snow play facility, Happy Valley which boasts an all-weather snow making system.
Only 2 hours from Taupō is Mount Ruapehu’s other ski field – the Turua Ski Area. With wide open bowls and chutes, as well as entry to backcountry areas from the top of Australasia’s highest chairlift, the Turua Ski Area is a favourite amongst advanced skiers and snowboarders. Beginners are also welcome on the Turua ski slopes, at the family-friendly, Alpine Meadow – which has a separate tobogganing area.
