Ski mountaineering on Mt Taranaki/Egmont. Be guided on this ultimate alpine experience. Climb the 2518m peak to get up to 1000 metres of skiing.
The climb up usually involves crampons and can be from a moderate snow route to steep ice routes depending on the adventure you want. Skiing is for experts only. If this sounds intimidating, leave the skis behind and be a normal mountaineer.
The best, but not the only, season for skiing is October to early December. Skiing on New Year's Day is sometimes on! "Normal" mountaineering or mountain walking can be at any time of year.
Accommodation can be arranged on the mountain for longer days of action, or multi-day experiences.
Guiding also available on Ruapehu.
Be guided - be safe!
