Chain Hire

The 6 kilometre road up to the ski area winds gently up through picturesque beech forest and is accessible for most motor vehicles. It is essential that all vehicles carry chains though these are generally only required by 2 wheel drives.

There is no public transport options to ski area itself. Atomic Shuttles run a service to the bottom of the road where someone should give you a ride up. Black Diamon Safaris run guided tours to Craigieburn Valley Ski Area from Christchurch & Methven.
