Road info
Our access road is open through to Carpark 4 (Zed Creek) where you'll reach a locked gate (approx. 11km up). Our base area car parks and lodge facilities are currently a construction zone and will not be accessible by road (with the exception of construction workers) until May 2027. If you wish to use our road to access the back country, please park at Carpark 4 and hike up and along the ridge above Carpark 3 (Rakaia Saddle). Note: the Bluffs (between Carpark 3 and the base area) is a no-walking zone due to the rock fall hazard. When using the Mt Hutt access road, please drive with care, observe the 40km/h speed limit and maintain 2-way access.

Partly cloudy until early evening then some snow. Northwesterlies developing.
