We are Closed for the 2023 winter season!
Our Alpine Huts can be booked online. We do not offer bag transfers out of our winter operating season. Support vehicles are strictly limited to one per exclusive booking and only in dry conditions between December 1st to March 31st.
Summer Activities
Our Alpine huts are available to book all summer long except for during November when trail conditions are at their most fragile. Snow Farm will be closed during this time. All Exclusive bookings are allowed one support vehicle until April 1st.
Our network of 55km of trails is great for summer biking excursions for an easy car-free trail ride. For the more adventurous head up past the meadow hut to the kirtle burn trail and to the summit of Mt Pisa for breathtaking views down into Lake Dunstan. and enjoy a long gradual descent down top beat with lakes Wanaka and Hawea and Mt Aspiring as your backdrop.
We just ask that all trail users make a contribution to our trail maintenance using the link below, please.

Snow Play, Snowshoe and Cross Country Skiing
Snow Farm is the place to go for snow experiences, unlike any other mountain. We have a dedicated snow play area, the Snow Fun Zone, filled with tubes and snow so you can slide down hills, build snowmen and settle a family dispute with a snowball fight!
We also have snowshoeing and cross country skiing for the more adventurous, but rest assured both of these activities are easy for first-time snow bunnies.
Please book online before you visit us to ensure you don’t miss out. All our activities have limited availability.
ALPINE HUTS
Snow Farm Alpine Huts are between four and six kilometres from the base area, and take one to three hours to travel to by skis or snowshoes in winter. During the summer months, these huts can also be accessed on foot and mountain bikes, offering a unique alpine experience.

The staff were all engaged and helpful. This contributes so much to the experience. The skiing layout allows for a wide range of abilities and preferences. After 50 years down hilling, this is now my go-to ski area. read less
