Welcome to Serac Alpine Club

Serac Alpine Club is a member-owned, family-friendly alpine club with lodges located at Whakapapa and Ohakune.

Built around skiing and mountain life, Serac offers a warm, welcoming base where families can stay right on the mountain and enjoy everything Ruapehu has to offer — from snow sports in winter to biking and hiking in the warmer months.

Your Family Bach on the Mountain

As a not-for-profit club, Serac provides some of the most affordable alpine accommodation on the mountain, making it easier for families to spend more time outdoors without the high cost of commercial lodging.

We’re not a hotel. We’re a community. A place where families gather, bring friends and extended family, and become part of an already established alpine network. Families return year after year, kids grow up on the mountain, and friendships are built around shared alpine experiences.
