What to Expect

Frequently Asked Questions about First Timer Ski Package

How do I get to Cardrona?

Getting to Cardrona is easy, no matter where you're staying! Located in the heart of the Southern Alps, it's a short drive from Wanaka, Queenstown & Arrowtown.

DRIVING TO CARDRONA

Cardrona is just a short hop over the Crown Range from Queenstown Airport, so it's super easy to pick up your rental car and drive straight here!

Cardrona is located in a high alpine environment, with weather that can change quickly. The resort is located at the top of a 14km long, unsealed access road, so please take care and keep to the left to maintain 2-way traffic the whole way.

Both the Crown Range road and the Cardrona mountain road can be affected by snowfall, so it's best to always carry chains and know how to use them.

If you don't want to drive the whole way up the mountain road, there are free mountain shuttles from the Pine Trees carpark, located at the 1km mark on the access road.

Buses are also available, and more information can be found here.
