Mt Ruapehu Summer Season, now open! The Sky Waka gondola cabins are turning, and we are open to welcome our first manuhiri for the 2022/2023 Mt Ruapehu Summer Season. The sun is shining, somewhat by surprise, and the forecast remains changeable, so keep an eye on our website report for latest. We have a café style offering available at the Knoll Ridge Chalet, and you can explore on foot along the Skyline Walk (1.5-2.5 hours return) and Waterfall Descent (1-2 hours descent) from the top of the Sky Waka gondola, and out to Meads Wall (20mins) from the base area. Return Sky Waka gondola passes are $39 an adult, $19 youth (5-17 years old). You can purchase your pass on arrival on mountain. 2022 winter season pass holders have the option to purchase a return pass at 25% off, and life pass holders to travel for free. We will operate through to April 2023, weather dependent, and all days apart from Christmas Day. : Joel McDowell (2022-12-20)

"Mauri t, mauri ora" "An active soul is a healthy soul" - Whakatauk, Mori proverb Mt Ruapehu Summer Season, OPENING 21 December 2022. While the future around us may remain uncertain, although a little brighter after the funding announcement today, one thing that has always been certain, and never in question, is the magic of Mt Ruapehu – a peak like no other. Starting from 21 December, weather dependent, we will reopen the Sky Waka gondola, giving access from above the ground, and on foot, to the heart of New Zealand’s North Island. In summer, with the maunga laid bare of its winter coat, Mt Ruapehu’s unique volcanic terrain, formed over generations, and fiercely protected for its “outstanding universal value to humanity”, is exposed in its rawest form. The Sky Waka gondola takes you on a journey 1.8km above the "seen to be believed" terrain, and to 2020m to the Knoll Ridge Chalet, where you will be able to refuel with different café style food and beverage options. Come immerse yourselves in a cultural, geographical, and historical feat, and support our team, as we continue to work towards a sustainable future of operations on the mighty Mt Ruapehu. : joelmcdowell (2022-12-07)
