Coronet Peak

Ski resorts in New Zealand
Coronet Peak is the most easily accessible ski resort on the South Island, located just 20 minutes from Queenstown. The resort extends between 1,229 and 1,2129.3 feet altitude and has about 40 slopes and 8 lifts. It is especially known for its proximity to the city, modern lifts and the possibility of night and night skiing – something unique in New Zealand.
For beginners there are wide and well-prepared slopes as well as good ski school and children's areas. The average skier appreciates the many red slopes that wind down the mountain with views of the Southern Alps. Advanced skiers will find steeper terrain and the opportunity for freeskiing in limited areas. The resort also has a well-developed snow park for freestyle skiers.

The base area offers restaurants, bars and modern services, and most people choose to stay in Queenstown, where the range of hotels, entertainment and activities is among the largest in the whole country. Thanks to the short distance, transportation is smooth, and it is easy to combine Coronet Peak with skiing in nearby Remarkables or Cardrona.

The atmosphere is characterized by international visitors, lively après-ski opportunities in Queenstown and the special feeling of being able to ski both day and night with magnificent views of New Zealand's dramatic mountain landscape.
