-Activities In the Tongariro National Park Mountain View is situated on the southern border of the Tongariro National Park. It is the oldest national park in New Zealand, located in the central North Island. It has been acknowledged by UNESCO as one of the 25 mixed cultural and natural World Heritage Sites. -Hiking in Tongariro National Park In September 1887 the sacred mountain peaks, Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro were gifted to the people of New Zealand by the Paramount Chief of Ngati Tuwharetoa, Horonuku Te Heu Heu Tukino, thus ensuring their protection for all people for all time. This gift formed the nucleus of Tongariro National Park, New Zealand's First National Park and a dual World Heritage Area. -Mountain Biking :Bikes available for hire from TCB Ohakune and surrounding areas are a major part of the New Zealand Cycle way with two major sections operating on either side of the township, and is a must visit for any serious mountain biker in new Zealand.

Mt Ruapehu has the largest ski fields in the country in both vertical rise and ski able terrain. -Mountain Climbing Ruapehu is one of the world's most active volcanoes, and the largest volcano in New Zealand. It is the highest point in the North Island and includes three major peaks: Tahurangi (2,797 m), Te Heuheu (2,755 m) and Paretetaitonga (2,751 m). All of these peaks can be conquered and vary in difficulty. -Rafting/Canoeing The Tongariro river has excellent white water rafting.
