About Ruapehu

The Ruapehu district is located in the central North Island, midway between Auckland and Wellington. State Highways 1 and 4 through the region provide equally good access and form the western and eastern boundaries. The connecting State Highways 47 and 49 provide the northern and southern boundaries respectively.

The 80,000 hectare Tongariro National Park is a World Heritage Area, and makes up most of this region. It's centrepiece is Mount Ruapehu which rises dramatically from the surrounding countryside.

Alongside Mount Ruapehu are two smaller volcanic mountains, Mount Ngauruhoe (also active) and Mount Tongariro.

Mt Ruapehu is still very much an active volcano that every year or so puts on a magnificent pyrotechnic display of a mini eruption. It is also the site of the North Island's premier ski fields at Whakapapa and Turoa, which have world class facilities.

In summer there are a number of trails to explore, with one of the best known being the Tongariro Crossing, a full-day hike. These hikes provide opportunities to experience some of the most active volcanic areas, as well as moonscape craters, lush native forest, lava formations, glaciers and pristine streams and lakes.
