Curling
W.W.S.C. presents
2026 Mt Olympus
Tarnspiel Curling Day
Sorry this is unfortunately cancelled due to the weather ,
8 & 9 August 2026
Weather postponement day: Sunday 9 August
(The helicopter will not run on Sunday 9 August.)
Get ready for one of W.W.S.C.'s most unique and memorable events of the year: curling with the Gods on the alpine tarn, New Zealand's highest-altitude curling event. Snow-blown ice, smooth stones, dress-ups, helicopter action and good times for all ages.
Not a skier? No problem. We're running helicopter transfers from the Bottom Hut up to the Tarn so everyone can join in the fun.

All the deets
- Free entry. Team registrations for teams of four close at 11:00 am on the day.
- No team? No worries. Sign up when you arrive and we'll find you some teammates.
- Helicopter transfers to the Tarn run from the Bottom Hut. First flight: TBC. Register and book your seat below.
- Refreshments, affectionately known as “Cold Soup”, will be available for purchase at the Tarn. Bring cash.
- Postponement: if the weather Gods insist, curling will move to Sunday 9 August. The helicopter will not operate on the postponement day.
