It is easy to combine two or three New Zealand ski resorts into a Self Drive Holiday. Designed for those who want maximum variety in their ski holiday, a Multi Area (any 2 or 3 Resort) Holiday offers you the five best combinations of New Zealand’s premier resorts.

Start your holiday at magnificent Mount Hutt with great snow, reliable season and varied terrain whatever your ability. Then simply choose an additional one or two of the following resorts. Tekapo with easy access to Mount Dobson, Ohau, Roundhill and the Tasman Glacier, Wanaka to ski/board Cardrona and the challenging slopes of Treble Cone, or Queenstown complimented by an abundance of apres-ski action and up to five ski areas – Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Cardrona, Treble Cone and the Snow Park.

Another alternative is to split your holiday between Queenstown and Wanaka. No matter which resorts you choose, you’ll discover some of the most magnificent scenery in the Southern Hemisphere.
