Cardrona Alpine Resort offers an exhilarating mountain carting experience that combines speed, skill, and scenic views, making it one of the most exciting summer activities in New Zealand. Over a two-hour session, participants can enjoy as many uplifts as they like on Australasia’s only lift-accessed mountain carting trails. The course features three purpose-built trails stretching a total of three kilometers, designed to provide thrills for both beginners and experienced riders. Each guest is provided with a full-face helmet, goggles, and coveralls to ensure safety while navigating the trails. The experience also includes access to the Base Area, where visitors can enjoy refreshments and relax between rides. A safety briefing is included, and staff assist participants with fitting and operating their carts to maximize both enjoyment and safety.
Guests are required to arrive at the Cardrona Alpine Resort on-mountain ticket office at least thirty minutes prior to their session. Riders must be in good physical health and adhere to weight and age restrictions, including a maximum combined weight of 110 kilograms per cart and minimum age and height requirements for solo rides. Sturdy enclosed footwear and warm clothing layers are recommended. Pregnant individuals and those with physical limitations or injuries are advised against participating. All participants must follow staff instructions, remain on designated trails, and respect other riders and signage to ensure a safe and memorable mountain carting adventure.
