You don’t need to ski to enjoy a day on the mountain. Ride the Sky Waka gondola to 2,020m, step out into alpine views and take your time exploring at the top, then add time in Snowland for the ultimate sightseeing day.
A Scenic Gondola ticket includes one same day return access on the Sky Waka gondola; skis, snowboards, and sleds are not permitted on this ticket.
Snowland is a purpose-built snow zone with a ticket giving you all the ways to play. Combo a Snowland ticket with a ride up the Sky Waka gondola for views from 2,020m and experience the complete winter magic up here on Mt Ruapehu.
