The recent replacement of Leaning Lodge has now been completed, and the hut is open and available for public use (bookings required)

There has been a hut on the site of the new Leaning Lodge since 1958, catering for skiers, trampers, researchers and all outdoor users. The Leaning Lodge Trust have now acheived their vision of a safe and secure hut in this spectacular sub-alpine location.

Leaning Lodge, on the Rock and Pillar Range, is administered by The Leaning Lodge Trust. The Trust is a legal entity and holds Charitable Status. Under the Trust Deed, the trustees are elected by the Otago Tramping and Mountaineering Club (OTMC).
