Home > Whakapapa skifield
Whakapapa on the northern side of Mount Ruapehu is one of the mountain's two commercial skifields. The season is generally from July to October but depends on snow and weather conditions. It is accessible by car and chairlifts, with beginners to advanced skiing slopes. Limited accommodation and refreshments are available at Top O'the Bruce, at the entry to Whakapapa, as well as elsewhere on the mountain. Alpine huts are also provided for trampers and climbers. The Chateau, which has appeared on several New Zealand stamps, is a feature of Whakapapa village.
The more significant meaning of Whakapapa is "genealogy".
