Ski Methven
Methven, in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island, feels a bit like a selfish little secret; a place so special that once you discover it, you want to keep it to yourself and you won’t feel remotely inclined to share it.
Tranquil yet exhilarating, relaxing yet vibrant, Methven offers a perfect escape no matter what your taste or budget. Just one hour from Christchurch, on Inland Scenic Route 72, this village buzzes in winter.
Methven is nestled right beneath the towering Mt Hutt and Methven is hands-down the closest place to stay to get an early start on slopes at Mt Hutt.
Rows and rows of Alps, situated behind Mt Hutt beckon heli-skiers and riders, searching for some of the most amazing and challenging slopes on offer.

Accommodation and Activities
There are plenty of reasons to visit Methven, even if you choose to take a day away from the slopes. Surrounded by fertile farm-land the atmosphere is totally relaxing and a great way to unwind.
Salmon fishing and jet boating is on offer nearby at the Rakaia Gorge.
If you’re looking for a High Country experience then venture behind Mt Hutt, into the heart of the Southern Alps for 4WD tours, tramping, hunting and just a spot more fishing. Tee off with the locals at one of the nearby golf courses or simple go for a stroll on one of the walkways.
When night falls Methven comes alive with skiers and snowboards regaling their tales on the slopes. Cosy up around the fire place, park up at a bar or boogie the night away before retiring to ready for the next day on the slopes.
There are plenty of choices on the accommodation front too. From luxury resorts, spacious apartments for families, cute bed & breakfast, hotels, motels, backpackers and camping grounds.
If you come to Methven looking for fun you’ll find it unequivocally and also discover an unspoilt scenic paradise tucked away that everyone can enjoy.
