Manawatu Tramping & Skiing Club Inc.
The Manawatu Tramping & Skiing Club is the oldest tramping and skiing club in the Manawatu. We have an active membership partaking in day tramps on Wednesdays and Thursdays, overnight tramps at weekends and various other outdoor activities.
The Club is an affiliated member of the Federation of Mountain Clubs of New Zealand (FMC).
The club has a lodge in the Iwikau Village on Mt Ruapehu that can accommodate 32 people in bunkrooms that sleep between 4 to 6 people. We have all the comforts of home; two lounges, hot showers, drying rooms, ski and board maintenance area, WiFi/Broadband Internet access and all the other refinements to make an enjoyable atmosphere. Most food is provided at the lodge. Those using it share food preparation and lodge housekeeping tasks.
The lodge accommodates members, guests and school groups by arrangement.
