Queenstown

About Queenstown

Queenstown is the most popular ski holiday destination in New Zealand, and on the doorstep of some incredible ski and snowboard resorts.
A short drive or shuttle bus ride will take you to one of four nearby resorts - namely Coronet Peak, the Remarkables, Cardrona or Treble Cone. Each mountain offers something different and with two different lift tickets to choose from (or get both), the choice is yours each day!
Queenstown itself is vibrant town on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by stunning snowcapped mountains. Well known for the adventure activities on offer such as Bungee Jumping, Sky Diving and Jet Boating, Queenstown is now also famous for its range of excellent dining options, nightlife and shopping.
Accommodation in Queenstown is available for all budgets, from cheap backpacker hostels to family friendly self contained apartments and even several five star hotels!

Why Visit Queenstown?

  • More than a Ski Holiday - Combine adventure activities, exploring wineries, fine dining and shopping with a fantastic ski holiday for a memorable holiday the whole family will enjoy
  • Four Resorts to Choose From – Coronet Peak and Remarkables on the NZ Superpass and Cardrona and Treble Cone on the FlexiPass. We recommend you try them all!
  • Easy Access - Frequent flights in to Queenstown airport from the east coast of Australia take on average 3 hours, and a quick 15 minute drive from the airport will have you in the centre of town

I recently came back from a 2 week ski holiday in Queenstown and had an absolutely amazing time with everything going very smoothly, thanks to Susan at the Ski Travel Company. I myself am a travel agent and have booked with a lot of different suppliers and I have to say every question I asked Susan were handled with ease, she really knows her stuff! Every booking I have made with the team I’ve had excellent feedback from my clients and now I can personally say this experience was excellent too!

Thanks to the team at the Ski Travel Company. I would definitely recommend and will definitely book our trip next year with the team.

Susan and the team were great. They navigated COVID lockdowns and travel bubbles and managed to get us in and out of NZ without a hitch. Great recommendations for accommodation. Everything ran smoothly.

I have dealt with Susan for many years now, over a number of ski trips around the world, and her efficiency, communication and ability to source the right accommodation as per our requirements, is first class. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any travel assistance, and look forward to when we can ask her to help us out again.
