One of the greatest benefits of joining SERAC Alpine Club is access to our Whakapapa Lodge. Located right on Mt Ruapehu at Whakapapa Ski Area, our ski-in ski-out lodge gives members an affordable and family-friendly way to enjoy skiing, hiking, biking and mountain adventures throughout the year. Think of it as your family's bach on the mountain, with space for up to 24 people, making it easy to bring friends, grandparents and extended family along for the adventure. Skip the daily drive, spend more time on the mountain, and become part of a community that has been creating family memories for generations.
