Guide de la Station de Ski Roundhill

Roundhill Ski Area is situated in the heart of the Mackenzie Country and boasts views on some of New Zealand’s most iconic landmarks. See Aoraki Mt Cook towering above the Southern Alps while the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo provide an amazing backdrop to your day on the snow. After a scenic 35 minute drive you arrive at Roundhill and park slope side. The ticket office, café and rental department are all located at the top of the car park. At Roundhill all trails lead back to the base area so once the kids are underway grab an espresso, bask in the sun and watch them tear up the slopes while you get yourself ready to hit the snow. Families love the relaxed friendly atmosphere at Roundhill. We have a fantastic beginner’s area with wide gentle runs and plenty of space. Our super wide undulating intermediate trails are just the right pitch to be exciting but not intimidating.
