[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][text_output]Methven is at the heart of nine Canterbury ski areas and over 1000 kms of New Zealand’s best heli-skiing terrain.
Tranquil yet exhilarating, relaxing yet vibrant, Methven offers a perfect escape no matter what your taste or budget. Just one hour from Christchurch on Inland Scenic Route 72, this alpine-themed village buzzes in winter, while in summer it is humming with events such as markets, multisport challenges and some very social golfing.
With Mt Hutt Ski Area on its doorstep (snow shuttles operate daily from Christchurch and Methven), some of the world’s finest heliskiing country and six Canterbury ski fields all within close distance, Methven is a snow sports magnet during the winter months.
The Kids 4 Free Campaign (where all children aged 10 & under receive FREE Lift access at Mt Hutt Ski Area; and can Travel, Stay, Eat, Play & get their Ski/Board Rental for FREE in the Methven area) is back for 2014 and not only makes a family ski holiday a reality but is now available all year round in Methven.
The town and surrounding district also caters for those seeking a country experience. Enjoy Methven’s hospitality while you refresh and relax in our amazing space. You will find the friendliness of our locals appealing especially when dining out at one of more than a dozen local eateries from country pubs to first class restaurants.
The region offers visitors an array of hiking & walking experiences; from a short walk suitable for the whole family, to challenging multi-day hikes for the serious tramper. Other popular outdoor activities range from mountain biking & cycling, fishing, hunting, golf and hot air ballooning to horse riding, jet boating, helicopter scenic flights and 4WD high country adventures.
Truly an amazing space.[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][image type=”thumbnail” float=”none” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”6920″ alt=”Methven Mt Hutt Village”][image type=”thumbnail” float=”none” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”6930″ alt=”Hot Air Ballooning Canterbury Plains”][image type=”thumbnail” float=”none” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”6917″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][image type=”thumbnail” float=”none” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”6921″ alt=”Primo Cafe”][image type=”thumbnail” float=”none” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”6923″ alt=”Mt biking around Methven”][image type=”thumbnail” float=”none” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” src=”6764″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
