Queenstown Skiing and Queenstown Ski Resorts
(Queenstown, Otago, New Zealand, NZ)



Over the past few decades, Queenstown has become something of a Mecca for snow sports, such as both skiing and snow boarding. This part of New Zealand is considered to be world-class when it comes to skiing, with the winter months falling between June and August, and always offering a reliable amount of snowfall.

The best ski fields and mountain ski resorts near to Queenstown and Wanaka include both the Cardrona Alpine Resort and also the Coronet Peak. Exceptional ski facilities can also be found around the Remarkables mountain range and the Treble Cone. During the summer, the Alpine scenery offers a completely different set of attractions, ranging from mountain biking and hiking (tramping), to cable car rides and rock climbing.
