Overnight Parking

There is a change to overnight parking at Whakapapa, which shows that carpark 2 is now available for overnight parking. It is important that all signage is adhered to as vehicles will be towed if not parked correctly.

RAL have also requested:

• When the park is clear of snow can you ensure that you park within the marked car spaces.
• Take care as to how you park allowing other cars to move out when required.
• For the late night travellers it is advisable to carry a torch or headlamp and have appropriate foot wear and/or shoe chains for navigating the ice when required. If you are walking up onto the mountain please take extreme care around groomers, particularly if you suspect they are operating the winch – stay well clear until the groomer has unhooked the winch. A headlamp and high vis is a great way to be seen at night by our snowmobile operators as well.
• Chains should always be carried, after snow you may need them to extract your vehicle if we haven’t been able to clear around it.
