Treble Cone stands as the South Island's largest ski area, commanding spectacular views over Lake Wanaka and the Southern Alps. With 550 hectares of terrain, the mountain is renowned for its long runs, natural half pipes, and legendary off-piste terrain. The unique topography creates distinct areas for all abilities, while maintaining Treble Cone's reputation for exciting and challenging skiing.

The mountain's lift infrastructure efficiently serves its vast terrain through strategically placed quad chairlifts and surface lifts. The Home Basin Express and Saddle Basin quad chairs access wide-ranging terrain, from gentle groomers to steep chutes. This thoughtful lift placement maximizes the mountain's natural fall lines, letting gravity guide you through Treble Cone's renowned long runs, some stretching over 4 kilometers.
