New Zealand Ski Resorts

Queenstown

Queenstown has so much on offer: incredible scenery, hundreds of restaurants, cool bars, good shopping, countless adrenaline activities and of course four great ski resorts within driving distance.

Coronet Peak

Coronet Peak is Queenstown’s most popular ski resort with several good lifts, excellent base area facilities and some fun terrain - it’s a great option for all levels of skiing.

The Remarkables

Perched up in an alpine bowl, high up in the spectacular Remarkables mountain range, The Remarkables is a fun ski and boarding playground.

Treble Cone

Treble Cone has some of New Zealand's best powder and advanced terrain, as well as a giant skiing cat.

Cardrona

Cardrona is a fantastic choice for families and intermediate skiers wanting a wide choice of ski runs and excellent facilities.

Wanaka

Wanaka is an excellent base for skiers thanks to two great ski resorts within a short drive, a beautifully serene setting on the shores of Lake Wanaka and a little town with a lot going for it.
