Massey University Alpine Club
Massey University Alpine Club (MUAC) is an outdoor club run by volunteers for the benefit of its members, both student, and non-student. The club has a good international, Kiwi and gender blend. MUAC is mostly undergraduate students, but there are plenty of post-graduate and non-student members in their 30’s.
Massey University Alpine Club (MUAC) has a rich and exciting history of taking students on unforgettable adventures since 1929 – it’s one of the oldest clubs at Massey University.
The Massey University Alpine Club hut is located 14km from Ohakune and 3km below the Turoa Ski Field on Mount Ruapehu.
Our hut is a basic alpine tramping and mountaineering hut. We hold a privileged position above the hairpin and under 3-4 hours hiking distance from the summit. We are the only hut on this side of Mount Ruapehu.
The hut is available to book for the MUAC members, students and the public.
