Craigieburn Valley Ski Area
Craigieburn Valley Ski Area, located in the heart of New Zealand's Southern Alps, has achieved cult status amongst NZ's hottest skiers. Steep deep and cheap, the only catch is that you wish you had discovered it before. Wide open powder bowls, steep narrow chutes and when you come off the hill at the end of a big day, kick back in the bar at our cosy alpine lodge. Craigieburn Valley offers something for everyone (except beginners!!).
Whether hanging out for a week or just a couple of days, a highlight of any visit to Craigieburn Valley is staying in one of the cosy alpine lodges nestled in NZ's scenic native bush. Up to 65 people can be accommodated at any one time in economical 6-person bunkrooms or more private double rooms. A great atmosphere, the good company of fellow skiers, and warming winter fare will ensure your stay at Craigieburn will be one to remember. Please note that bookings are recommended to avoid disappointment.
Craigieburn is situated only 1.5 hrs (110km) from Christchurch on highway 73. The 6 kilometre road up to the Skifield winds gently up through picturesque beech forest and is accessible for all motor vehicles (except camper vans which can be parked at the base of the access road).
