Roundhill Ski Area

Ski & Board UpdateLearning to ski or snowboard, or perhaps brushing up? Roundhill is the place to go! Located in the heart of the Mackenzie Country, a 30min drive from the scenic resort of Tekapo, Roundhill provides the perfect setting for a relaxing day's skiing or snowboarding on gentle, undulating terrain.

Nestled in the Southern Alps, the field enjoys magnificent views of Mount Cook, Lake Tekapo and the Mackenzie Basin from the slopes. There is fantastic learner and intermediate terrain, well groomed, wide trails and all-day sunshine. Central Park has boxes, rails and jumps for both skiers and snowboarders, and there is premium back-country access for off-piste skiing. From Fairlie, follow SH8 to Lake Tekapo, just half an hour from Roundhill. You can continue along SH8 towards Queenstown after your visit.
