Mountain Life at Otaihape Alpine Club Whakapapa
The Otaihape Alpine Club Whakapapa is located at Mt Ruapehu, a special ski and boarding destination. Located on this live volcano in a World Heritage National Park, Whakapapa is visually stunning and provides challenges for every level of skier and rider.
Club living at Whakapapa is unique, and helps get over some of the man-made challenges. You get to wake in this environment, and pace your riding day to suit you. No rush in the morning for parking, no expensive, crammed cafes for lunch, no mad scramble to get all your gear back into the car at the end of the day.
At Otaihape we offer a cost-effective, family-centred club lifestyle from another time in a warm, relaxed, easy-access location. We are the best little ski club on the mountain. Come and check us out!
