Located at 5,000 feet, the lodge sits on a rounded hill of the Pisa range and is accessible by car. The town of Wanaka is 18 miles, for those who might prefer to lodge there. Season runs late June to mid-September for 55 km, groomed for both classic and skating.
All routes are above tree line.
There are two rustic huts as warming shelters. Best views are to south and west. Rentals and instruction are available. Dinners are eclectic, from local country style to Japanese. XC races, from high school to Masters.
