Whakapapa Skifield During Summer Tongariro National Park

During the summer, the landscape is barren as you look out over the horizon from the Whakapapa Skifield in Tongariro National Park in New Zealand.

Looking across the barren landscape from the Whakapapa Skifield in Tongariro National Park on the North Island of New Zealand, the area is isolated except for the buildings in the foreground and Mt Ngauruhoe in the backdrop. Hiking and backpacking is a popular summer activity in Tongariro National Park where people climb to the peak of Mt Ruapehu to enjoy the scenic view. The volcanic landscape is fascinating to see during the summer when the snow is non-existent.

As winter moves in around New Zealand, the slopes of Mt. Ruapehu become crowded as this is a spectacular holiday destination for skiers. The tranquility around the buildings and the peacefulness of the landscape disappears as people swoosh down the hills on skis, toboggans, tubes or snowboards.
