A bus carrying 26 passengers slid off the road on its way to Aoraki/Mount Cook Village in heavy snow on Saturday afternoon.
Police said they were called to State Highway 8 - Mount Cook Road - just after 3pm.
There were no injuries but the bus could not be towed and alternative transport was arranged for the passengers.
A police spokesperson said the bus was driven on to a closed road in the snowy conditions.
The incident has been referred to WorkSafe and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Team, they said.
