Journey 1.8km up the northern face of Mt Ruapehu to 2020m, on the Sky Waka gondola.
The journey, both summer and winter, offers panoramic views of the volcanic landscape, out to neighbouring peaks of Mt Ngāuruhoe and Mt Tongariro, and across the central North Island.

Whakapapa has a dedicated sledding area, with a gentle slope and up to three lanes. A magic carpet transports you back to the top.
Sledding sessions are 1 hour long, and give you access to a sled and the sledding area to slide down and come back up as many times as you'd like within your session. There are limited spots available, so it is always recommended to book.
Make the most of your winter adventures with our weekday packages and passes for skiing, snowboarding, sightseeing and sledding offering more value compared to weekend prices.
