| Experience the thrill of the luge; the joy of ice skating outdoors; and the sense of tradition and challenge that is the ancient Scottish ice sport of curling. It is all here – in Central Otago’s winter wonderland. The region is the only one in New Zealand that experiences continental climatic conditions. Consequently, the seasons are vividly well defined. Winter is characterised by frosts, ice and snow. At its best the snow caps the mountains and lies across the high country, hoar frosts reveal their eerie beauty and the dams and ponds of Central Otago freeze solid. And then the fun begins. |
