The Cardrona Valley is a spectacular alpine region on New Zealand’s South Island, once a hotbed of action during the Otago gold rush of the 1860s. These days Cardrona is better known for its white treasure, the snowfields that lure skiers throughout the winter months. Summertime sees the mountains come alive with burbling streams and grassy plains shimmering in the breeze, as invigorating hiking and mountain biking trails open onto awe-inspiring vistas.
