With three wheels, three times the fun, and trails designed specifically for carting, this is one summer activity you’ll want to tick off your bucket list. Mountain carting at Cardrona is the only experience of its kind in the country and the only lift-accessed mountain carting in Australasia.

Enjoy two hours of thrilling downhill fun with as many chairlift uplifts as you can fit in. Explore three purpose-built trails stretching across 3km of stunning alpine terrain, whether you're chasing adrenaline, cruising with friends, or soaking in the views. After the fun, keep the good vibes rolling with a visit to the tasty Noodle Bar, where flavour packed delights meet stunning alpine views.

2h de fun !

Sensations fortes garanties! Nous avons pu faire 10 descentes en 2h. Le kart est facile à manier, et la vue depuis Cardrona est superbe!

Absolument génial !

L'une des activités que j'ai préférées, parmi toutes les splendides randonnées et le parapente. Un grand moment de plaisir sur les pistes du Cardrona Alpine Resort. A faire !

10/10 fun

Really well set up, staff super helpful. Carting was so much fun and easy to get the hang of. 2 hrs is enough for 2 runs of each of the 3 routes (more if you're speedy or skip the long route). Can't recommend enough

Megan Evans from New Zealand wrote on 21 January 2026

Would recommend

Would highly recommend this - already have - to anyone going to Wanaka/Queenstown. Much better than the luge. I got 10 runs - including doing the long run. Because numbers are capped you aren't falling over people and there is lots of room to pass people going slower.
