We missed the snow at home but here we had it.
Take a ride with the chairlift to the highest cafe in New Zealand at 2020m. Especially the 'Skyline Walk' offers an incredible view over the National park and wandering through snow in summer months is a lot of fun!

Went up the ski lift that costs $30.
It is a 2 hour walk from there. It is like being on Mars. Very bleak. The view at the end is amazing though. Must have a head for heights though!

Starts with 2 alpine lifts and then you walk for two hours.
Not an easy walk!! You have the option to go to the Crater, it takes 3 more hours.

We bought tickets to go on the lift to the place where we should begin our walk (fair price).
Although the signs misguided us in the wrong direction so we did not enjoy the walk that much.

Amazing views and well worth the climb and effort.
We walked it in 2 hours with our 5 year old son. He also loved it.

Fun to take the chair lifts up.
We did the walk with 2 children (4 and 5 years old), So it was a 4 hour walk! But they liked it, managed to go up to the top and the view was STUNNING!
