Tokoroa Alpine Club
A members' club on Mt Ruapehu. We operate a 29-bed lodge in the Whakapapa ski area, open year-round for members and their guests.
About the Club
The Tokoroa Alpine Club has been connecting people with New Zealand's mountains since 1969. We're a community of outdoor enthusiasts who share a love of the alpine environment.
Mt Ruapehu Lodge
29-bed lodge in the Whakapapa ski area, built and maintained by members since 1969.
A Members' Club
Run entirely by volunteers. Members look after each other and the lodge through working bees and shared responsibilities.
Built by Members
The lodge was built in a single weekend by members' voluntary labour. All maintenance continues on the same basis.
Year-Round Access
Open all year for skiing, snowboarding, tramping, photography, and alpine adventures.
Life on the Mountain
Our members enjoy a wide range of activities throughout the year, from winter sports to summer tramping and everything in between.
Visiting the Lodge
The Tokoroa Alpine Club is a members' club. To stay at the lodge, you need to either be a member or be invited as a guest by an existing member. Non-member guests must be accompanied by the member who booked them.
If you're interested in experiencing the lodge, the best way is to get to know a current member and arrange to visit as their guest. If the club is a good fit for you, two existing members can nominate you for membership.
