Whakapapa Winter Wanders - Family fun at the mountain
Whakapapa Winter Wanders - Family trips to Ruapehu - June/July School Holidays 2025
Join us for one of two jolly jaunts to experience Whakapapa Winter Wanders on Mt. Ruapehu during the June/July school break. Embrace the wintery wonders of Ruapehu with ASC members - whether it be in celebration of Matariki, Winter Solstice, a nostalgic northern-style ‘Christmas’ or just the great, white (we wish!) outdoors! Come down for some fun with friends and/or all the family and experience the wonders of NZ winter with snow play, igloo-building, sledding, snow sports, games, feasts and general communal cozyness. The hut will be open throughout and our lovely Hut Warden Gemma and/or her brother Jackson are back as custodians. Please save the date and get booking your bunks on Book Now for either/all of the following dates: 27 June - 01 July or 04 - 08 July
We'll operate the usual first-come; first-served approach to bunk bookings. However, we kindly request that you only book for current members - so all ASC families have a chance to plan for the school holidays. We'll open to none members' bookings from 01 June. For the real Snow Hounds, feel free to extend your holiday plans to make use of the quieter mid-week period or the whole two weeks! Any questions, please get in touch with Greg on alpinesportsclub.nz@gmail.com (Subject: 'Whakapapa 2025').
