Be aware that Ruapehu is an active volcano. There is currently a long term Lahar warning for the crater lake, which is expected to flood in 2005. Pay attention to any public safety warnings or notices in the whole area.

Because of the changeable weather, travellers in this area should carry warm clothing, even in summer.
