The Remarkables

The Remarkables is a popular ski resort located in the Queenstown region on New Zealand’s South Island, about a 45-minute drive from the town of Queenstown. The resort offers varied terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all levels – from beginner and intermediate slopes on the lower parts of the mountain to more advanced terrain higher up, featuring steeper runs, chutes, natural rock features, and access to alpine backcountry. For freestyle riders, there is also a well-developed terrain park. The ski season typically runs from late June to early October.

In addition to skiing and snowboarding, visitors can enjoy other winter activities such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and sightseeing tours in the spectacular alpine environment.

The most convenient way to reach The Remarkables is by car, with plenty of parking available at the resort. Alternatively, a shuttle bus runs regularly from Queenstown throughout the day. The nearest airport is Queenstown Airport, which has frequent flights from several cities in New Zealand and Australia. From the airport, visitors can easily continue by rental car or shuttle bus.
