Walking and hiking at Cardrona is truly stunning, with 360 views at every turn! Take the lift and explore our walking trails for a true alpine adventure.
Sightseeing and walking at Cardrona lets you immerse yourself in a beautiful alpine environment at over 1800m above sea level! Breathe the fresh alpine air and take in the stunning 360-degree views of the Southern Alps, Lake Whakatipu and Lake Hawea. You can choose between a gentle chairlift-assisted stroll from the top of McDougall's Chondola up to our viewing platform or back to Base, or more adventurous hikes into Captain's Basin or even the summit of Mt Cardrona!
Please note: Many of our walking trails are now closed for the remainder of the 2024 Summer Season. The remaining walking trails still open are:
- From Base to Ridgeline.
- From top of McDougall's to the viewpoint and resort summit weather station.
