REVIEWS
Mt Lyford Alpine Resort
We had a great time up there. Well worth going here to ski great area for kids and nice runs for beginners and intermediate. Lovely club house very relaxed with great room to stretch out with children. No queues no hassles all the fun with no barrage of people. Beautiful spot and would love to come back in the summer too. Very nice people well done.
Great for sledging 😍 and skiing. Affordable prices! We rented a donut for sledging for 1 hour and it was more than enough, the sledging track is really long and steep enough to have as much fun as we needed 😂
Lovely scenic ride to resort. Spacious parking. Lovely staff to help you with renting equipment and classes. Snowboarding, skiing and kids snow games are welcome. Advanced and beginners find their spots to enjoy. Cafe and food to rest and rejuvenate for next run. View to top of mountain is astonishing. Love the place. Not so crowded and busy.
One of the best skiing resorts I have visited. Tracks for learners, intermediate and advanced skiers. Unsealed road leads to the resort so snow chains are a must. Amazing staff and great crowd. If you are in Hanmer or around visit this resort rather than Hanmerski.
Great family friendly field, instructions are awesome!
You definately need to be a confident driver in a good 4wd with chains, if you want to drive yourself up the mountain (recommend the shuttle service if you're not keen on a nail biting drive ha ha ha) but totally worth it when you get to the top - we'll be back ❤🏂⛷❄
