Cardrona Alpine Resort is a ski resort in New Zealand's South Island. The skifield ranges from 1,670m to 1,894m with good facilities for children. The distribution of slopes is 25% beginner, 55% intermediate and 20% advanced. There are 2 detachable quad chairlifts and 1 fixed-grip quad chairlift, 3 "magic carpet" learner lifts and 1 platter lift for beginners. Some snowmaking equipment is present. Snowboarding is well catered for with four half pipes and a terrain park. There is also a "High performance centre" which trains more advanced skiers and snowboarders.

The resort is located near Wanaka, 5 hours drive from Christchurch, and a 1 hour drive from Queenstown. On-mountain accommodation is provided in the form of 15 self-contained apartments.

There was a tradition that at the bottom of the mountain women leave their old bra on the Cardrona Bra Fence before leaving town.
