The Cardrona Experience
Cardrona Alpine Resort is not just a ski field — it is a mountain playground. Sitting at 1,860 metres above sea level, it is New Zealand's highest ski resort, and the journey to reach it is half the adventure. Our private transfers take you from Queenstown over the Crown Range — the highest sealed road in the country — with views that will have you reaching for your camera before you even arrive.
On the mountain, Cardrona delivers something for everyone. Beginners and families will love the gentle, wide-open slopes and the dedicated kids' zones that make learning to ski a joy rather than an ordeal. Experienced riders head straight for the world-class terrain parks — consistently voted among the best in the Southern Hemisphere — where rails, jumps, and half-pipes are meticulously maintained all season long.
Then there is the snow tubing — pure, unfiltered fun that has nothing to do with skiing and everything to do with laughter. And on the drive up, keep your eyes peeled for the legendary Cardrona Bra Fence — one of New Zealand's quirkiest roadside landmarks, festooned with thousands of bras left by passing travellers over the decades. Priced per vehicle, not per person.

Getting to Cardrona
Cardrona Alpine Resort is approximately 55 minutes from Queenstown via the Crown Range Road — New Zealand's highest sealed highway, climbing to 1,076 metres at its summit. The road is breathtaking but demanding, with steep gradients, tight switchbacks, and frequent winter conditions. Our drivers know every corner, every frost patch, and every photo stop along the way.
On the way, you'll pass the famous Cardrona Bra Fence — a quirky Kiwi landmark that's been collecting bras from passing travellers since the 1990s. Pickup is from your Queenstown accommodation. Drop-off is at the Cardrona base building, right at the foot of the lifts. Return transfers are flexible — ski at your own pace and message us when you're ready to head back.
