Mt Hutt, high above the Canterbury Plains and in the heart of the Southern Alps, is all about a great snow experience! The snow is light and reliable throughout the long season and it’s on the mountain longer than any other ski area in Australasia. Mt Hutt’s season runs from the end of May to the end of October. . . with the Spring skiing being some of the best around!

Whether you are an absolute beginner or an advanced powder hound, if you are into skiing or boarding then Mt Hutt is the place to do it. The awesome off trail opportunities and the immense runs off the Triple Chair make Mt Hutt a favourite with boarders. The wide, open trails provide easy learning for novice skiers and excellent terrain to build on your existing skills.

An hour's drive inland from Christchurch, the alpine resort of Methven lies nestled beneath the mighty Mt Hutt. Here you will find great après ski restaurants and pubs offering a cosy place to unwind. We have selected a range of accommodation that will suit you no matter what your taste and budget – from romantic bed 'n' breakfasts and family friendly lodges to apartments and hotels, you’ll be surprised!

The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. Just ask the locals...life is good here! If you want to take a day off skiing, there are excellent alternatives to choose from. Try your hand at a thrilling jetboat ride, bungy jumping, horse trekking or perhaps a round of golf.
