Otaihape Alpine Club

  The Otaihape Alpine Club Whakapapa is located at Mt Ruapehu, a special ski and boarding destination.   Club living at Whakapapa is unique, 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.  Otaihape is strongly family focussed.  Children are welcome and are encouraged to explore and experience the lodge and snow.  Once the lifts close, Otaihape kids can often be found building snowmen, snow caves, or jumps(!) in the valley below the lodge.   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!
