ITINERARY
Where you'll go
Cardrona
Tucked in the picturesque Cardrona Valley between the popular resort towns of Wānaka and Queenstown, Cardrona is a tiny historic alpine village set amid rolling mountains and wide open valleys. Best known as a gateway to the slopes of Cardrona Alpine Resort, the area is a favourite destination for skiing and snowboarding in winter, and hiking and mountain biking in the warmer months. The valley also offers a taste of rural New Zealand charm, with landmarks such as the iconic Cardrona Hotel and the boutique Cardrona Distillery. Scenic drives, alpine landscapes and outdoor adventure make Cardrona a memorable stop in New Zealand’s Southern Alps.
