Update 24 January 2022

We are sorry to inform you that due to restrictions imposed under the Red setting of the Covid 19 Protection Framework, Mt Hutt staff along with the Lions Club of Methven have made the decision to cancel this event.

We’re truly sorry to be unable to offer the opportunity for you to visit Mt Hutt this summer. We hope to be back again for a summer open day in 2023.

Kind regards,

The Mt Hutt Team

Discover Mt Hutt is a community fundraising event, run in partnership with the Lions Club of Methven.

From 10am to 4pm the Summit 6 chairlift will be spinning; set to carry families, walkers and bikers to the very top of Canterbury’s award‑winning mountain.

Disembarking at the top, 2086m above sea‑level, visitors will be greeted with unrivalled 360° views across the Southern Alps and Canterbury Plains.

For the return journey, some may opt for the thrill of biking the majestic scree slopes; others may prefer to meander along, admiring the diverse range of flora and fauna on display in this conservation area. For an even more laidback approach there is always the option of jumping on the chairlift to get back down to the base.

Opuke Kai will be open for refreshments and in the base area live music is set entertain the crowds; with volunteers running the café and BBQ areas.

The event is weather dependent, with a back up day of Sunday 20th February.
