Treble Cone is the largest ski and snowboard area on the South Island of New Zealand consisting of 550 hectares of land. Spread over three large basins there are trails to suit all ages and skill levels.
From the purpose-built learner area with a Magic Carpet Lift, to comfortable, groomed green and blue runs, through challenging black runs and secret powder stashes, Treble Cone has great terrain for all levels of ability.
The learners area with snowmaking facilities is located near the base building, the wide, gentle slope has an easy gradient and is groomed every night. This is serviced by an easy-to-use platter lift.
There are many trails to choose from, 2 of them being the 'Easy Rider' which is 3.5km and 'Main Street' which is 2km which both provide long, well-groomed slopes for beginners and intermediates along with many other groomed runs. Earthworks over Summer 2005 have created a new Upper High Street which now extend Treble Cones longest groomed run to 4.5km.
These runs are all serviced by either the high-speed six-seater detachable chairlift or NEW quad chairlift.
Treble Cone has that 'X' factor quality that sets it apart. From its 2,100 metre summit skiers are gobsmacked by the view of a hundred snow-capped peaks in Mt Aspiring National Park and the Southern Alps. The field drops 660 metres vertical metres which appears to dip into the serene waters of Lake Wanaka far below. All this terrain provides exhilarating runs, wrapped and augmented with superwide cruisy groomed slopes thanks to millions of dollars spent over the 2006/2007 summer on trail enhancement. The longest run takes you from the top of the Saddle Quad down 4kms of gentle terrain to the base lodge caf? below.
For three years now it has been awarded 'Peoples Choice; New Zealand Ski Area Service Award'.
The picturesque lakeside resort of Wanaka offers après-ski conviviality with a variety of cafes, bars and accommodation. Treble Cone is a special place. The distinction of having the longest descents and more vertical than any other New Zealand ski field provides an experience that you just can?t resist.
Treble Cone is a total experience of wicked terrain, stunning views and fantastic fun.
