Ski like a local and enjoy the stunning snow-capped mountains of the Southern Alps.
Five commercial ski resorts make up the Queenstown and Wanaka offerings for snow lovers. Choose from The Remarkables, Coronet Peak, Cardrona, Treble Cone and Snow Farm(opens in new window) with something for everyone including Olympic-sized super pipes, state of the art chairlifts, cruising groomed runs, big mountain style and spectacular views.
To experience fresh, untouched powder, head to Soho Basin(opens in new window), a private ski area with snowcats instead of chairlifts, or embark on a heliskiing adventure.
Add two complimentary resort towns filled with apres and downtime options, cosmopolitan Queenstown and laid back Wanaka, and you have a snow holiday you won’t want to leave.
