Winter’s almost here and Great Lake Taupo is celebrating by offering up the exclusive opportunity to ski Mt. Ruapehu at sunrise! The highest bidder will get the exclusive, one-off opportunity to be hosted up the mountain before it opens, to ski/board first tracks at sunrise.

All proceeds from this auction will go to Chateau Tongariro Hotel’s key conservation partner, Project Tongariro - working to maintain the ecology of the Tongariro National Park for future generations to enjoy.

Bidding kicks off on the 15th of May and closes on the 30th of May. Don't miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity – make sure you place your bid!
