Welcome to Tongariro National Park and inside the iconic Chateau Tongariro Hotel! In this first episode we travel towards Mount Ruapehu to spend the next few days exploring the oldest national park in New Zealand, with the hopes of ticking off the Tongariro Alpine Crossing when the weather clears. While that doesn't pan out in this vlog, we still take a drive up to Whakapapa ski field and around to Ohakune to scope out the oddly popular Ohakune carrot scene!

"The awe-inspiring mountains and rich forest of Tongariro National Park were given by Paramount Chief of Ngati Tuwharetoa, Horonuku Te Heu Heu Tukino to the people of New Zealand in 1887, laying the foundation on which our hotel is built. The gift ensured the land would be protected and open for all time to all people, a commitment we still hold dear.

After a new road gave access to the mountains in 1925, we opened the Chateau Tongariro Hotel in time to welcome guests from across the globe in the opulent glory days of the 'Roaring ’20s', and the hotel works hard to preserve the atmosphere of that glorious era to this day"

We've never stayed anywhere like Chateau Tongariro before and recommend you check it out if you're looking for accommodation options near Mt Ruapehu for skiing or taking the Tongariro crossing — https://geni.us/chateautongariro
