Set in the Craigieburn Ranges, Mt Cheeseman is a memorable base for summer adventures, from short scenic walks through to full-day hikes and nearby high-country attractions. With lodge accommodation available, it also works well for school groups, retreats, outdoor education and weekend escapes.
Within the Cheeseman gate, visitors can enjoy a range of summer activities and outdoor experiences.
Mt Cheeseman provides access to a variety of walking and tramping options, ranging from short walks to more challenging full-day hikes. These tracks are a great way to experience the alpine landscape, native vegetation, mountain views and surrounding high-country environment.
With lodge accommodation, mountain facilities and a spectacular alpine setting, Mt Cheeseman is also well suited to retreats, conferences, school groups, special events and private group bookings during the summer months.
Mt Cheeseman is also close to several well-known Canterbury high-country destinations, making it a great base for exploring the wider area.
