Cardrona is renowned for being a fun and friendly ski resort with some of the most reliable snow conditions in the region.
Thanks to its high elevation and south facing location, snow is dry and plentiful. Beginners will love Cardrona’s famous beginners’ slopes which were redeveloped for 2011, making them larger and accessed by a state of the art magic carpet.
Cardrona is the second largest ski area in the Queenstown-Lake Wanaka region.
Cardrona is planning a 22 June 2012 opening and closing on 7 October 2012.
Cardrona is easily accessible from both Queenstown and Wanaka by shuttle, bus or car. Drive time from Queenstown is 60 minutes over the spectacular Crown Range. Kiwi Discovery & Info & Track buses leave frequently from Queenstown. Cardrona is a short 35 minute drive by car from Wanaka with Alpine Coaches providing regular buses from the centre of town. Private shuttle transfers can be arranged with Ridgeline Adventures. For more detail on transport options and distances check this out.
