Queenstown – New Zealand’s Premier Ski Destination
Queenstown is the ultimate ski holiday destination in New Zealand, perfectly positioned within easy reach of four world-class ski resorts. Just a short drive or shuttle ride from town, you’ll find Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Cardrona, and Treble Cone — each offering its own unique terrain, atmosphere, and views. With two flexible lift pass options available (or both, if you want to mix it up), every day brings a new mountain to explore.
Set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and framed by spectacular snow-capped peaks, Queenstown combines breathtaking scenery with endless adventure. From skiing and snowboarding to bungy jumping, skydiving, jet boating, and more, it’s a destination that delivers excitement both on and off the slopes. Add a thriving dining scene, boutique shopping, and vibrant nightlife, and it’s easy to see why Queenstown is a year-round favourite.
Accommodation in Queenstown caters to every traveller — from cosy hostels and self-contained apartments to luxury five-star hotels overlooking the lake.
Why Visit Queenstown?
More Than a Ski Holiday
Blend adventure, relaxation, and indulgence — ski by day, then explore wineries, enjoy fine dining, and soak up the lively après-ski atmosphere by night.
Four Resorts to Explore
Ski Coronet Peak and The Remarkables with the NZ Superpass, or hit Cardrona and Treble Cone with a multiday earlybird lift pass. Each mountain offers a different experience — try them all for the ultimate ski trip.
Easy Access from Australia
With direct flights from Australia’s east coast taking around three hours, and Queenstown Airport just 15 minutes from the town centre, getting to the snow has never been easier.
