Rotorua Tramping & Skiing Club

Your Guide to Rotorua Tramping & Skiing Club

The Rotorua Tramping & Skiing Club has been a cornerstone of outdoor enjoyment in New Zealand since the early 1950s, fostering a passion for tramping, skiing, and back country exploration among its members. Known for its dedication to celebrating the outdoors together, the club offers a range of activities centred around summer and winter pursuits. Members can look forward to escaping to the back country, tackling tramping trails, and hitting the slopes of Whakapapa. The club's two chalets at National Park provide fantastic accommodation at the Top of the Bruce, serving as a base for these adventures. Club nights bring the community together on the second Monday of each month from February to November, starting at 7.30pm. These gatherings create opportunities to connect, share stories, and plan upcoming tramping and skiing trips in a relaxed setting.
