About Roundhill Ski Area
Roundhill Ski Area is situated directly above Lake Tekapo and offers spectacular views of Aoraki Mount Cook and the surrounding MacKenzie basin. This provides the perfect setting for a relaxing day skiing or snowboarding.
Now with 783m of vertical!
Built in 2010, the Heritage Express Rope Tow has an elevation of 2133m its 1440m long and has 632m vertical rise, this gives access to the Two Thumb range and some of the best terrain in NZ. Big mountain skiing and riding has come to Roundhill!
Roundhill is the ideal place to try skiing or snowboarding for the first time, with a huge beginners slope serviced by 2 beginner rope tows and a platter lift. The wide slope and gentle pitch makes it easy and fun to get up and going. We have expert ski and board instructors on hand if required with group lessons and private lessons available.
Once you’ve mastered the basics or if you’re looking for something more challenging you can head up the 1.2km T-Bar and make the most of the wide undulating intermediate runs, with lots of fun, rolling terrain and a pitch that’s exciting but not intimidating.
‘Central Park’ has been designed for people of all ages with progressive features ranging from gentle rollers and butter boxes for beginners to large features for the more adventurous. Give it a go and try something different – everyone is welcome.
The Two Thumb Café and Bar has been renovated and doubled in size over the summer with huge windows taking in the beginners area on one side and magnificent views of Lake Tekapo and the Alps on the other. The “von Brown Hut” opened in 2010, it's a secret hideaway stashed near the top of the T-Bar where you can sit and relax.
