New Zealand offers more than just great skiing and boarding, it’s an ultimate winter holiday destination packed with adventure for all ages. Explore and experience a new winter destination, challenge yourself with the superb terrain and be treated to great hospitality and amazing scenery.

Everything is at your doorstep

Unlike other countries, New Zealand’s ski areas are not set up as resorts but rather, accommodation is in the surrounding towns offering après-ski nightlife and extensive dining options. The opportunity to take in sights and activities off the mountain on those days when the conditions aren’t great or you are simply in the mood for a change of pace is another great advantage when taking your winter break in New Zealand.

More flexibility means more fun

Even the ski passes in New Zealand are flexible! The Queenstown Superpass, Flexi Pass and Mt Ruapehu Pass include access to multiple ski fields, allowing you to visit a different ski field each day. The Queenstown Superpass is also redeemable for sightseeing activities, meals and retail vouchers on those days when you can’t get on the slopes.

Take the family

All the main ski fields cater for children, offering great facilities ranging from childcare centres to kids programmes which include activities such as time on the snow and private ski lessons. Another excellent advantage of skiing in New Zealand is if your littlies are already pros, then depending on their age, they could even be out on the slopes for free!

Extensive range of accommodation options

Kirra Holidays offers accommodation to fit everyone’s budget - from B&B’s to backpackers, luxury lodges, hotels, motels and apartments - there is a style of accommodation to suit you.
