Welcome to Ohau-Ski-Fields, a small family-run resort and tourist attraction nestled in the stunning Lake hau, New Zealand. Owned by Mike and Louise Neilson since the 1980s, we have a deep passion for this beautiful and rugged landscape, and a strong commitment to preserving its unique environment.
Situated between the hau Range to the west and the Ben hau Range to the east, Lake hau offers fine weather and long daylight hours in summer, and reliable snow in winter. While known for its acclaimed Ohau Snow Fields, there is much more to explore in this area. After the ski season, visitors can delve into the wilderness by walking, hiking, or biking up the valley or around the Lodge during the summer months.
Lake hau Lodge provides the perfect base for your adventures. With 72 warm, comfortable, and inviting rooms, it offers a friendly family atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun, casual vibe. Whether you're here to ski, explore nature, or simply relax, the Lodge is the ideal place to stay.
Ohau-Ski-Fields is renowned for its exceptional skiing and snowboarding facilities. From beginners to advanced riders, there is something for everyone. Check out our Snow Fields page for detailed information on prices, passes, lifts, and more.
