Queenstown

Coronet Peak

Queenstown's original resort ski area, Coronet Peak, is just 25 minutes from town. The mountain has all kinds of terrain to suit every level of snow sport enthusiast. With night skiing and the First Tracks pass (be first on the mountain in the morning), Coronet Peak offers longer on-snow hours than any other ski area in the country. Regarded as the birthplace of South Island skiing, Coronet Peak plays host to New Zealand's ultimate winter celebration, the Lindauer Queenstown Winter Festival.

Remarkables

High above Queenstown is the Remarkables ski area, located in the mountain range of the same name. Snowboarders, freeskiers and families flock to the mountain's varied trails, terrain parks and backcountry areas. The Ozone Tubing Park is a blast if you’re looking for something a little different. Live music on the deck at lunchtime is a Remarkables speciality - you can watch the antics of kea (mountain parrots) and soak up the huge views.
