Mount Ruapehu is just four hours drive from Auckland in
the heart of Tongariro National Park. The mountain is one
of the world's most industrious volcanoes. The breathtaking
Mount Ruapehu is a magnet for thousands of skiers every
year.
The skiing is spectacular, the views to the two neighbouring
volcanic peaks will take your breath away. The sky areas
are very high and receive New Zealand's largest snow falls.
However, it is also making summer skiing posibble in a good
year!
A fresh occurrence of erruptions at this volcano took place
in mid 1996, and this simply adds to the excitement for
skiers, who enjoy facilities and lift options as good as
any resort in the world.
