About Ohakune
Ohakune is a small town at the southern foot of Mount Ruapehu in the central North Island, known for carrots, skiing and volcanic walks.
Ohakune lies on the southern edge of Tongariro National Park, a dual World Heritage area of volcanoes that is sacred to Māori. Above the town rises Mount Ruapehu, an active volcano and the highest peak on the North Island at 2,797 metres. Volcanic soil around the town grows root vegetables, and a giant carrot at the edge of the main road celebrates the fact.
