The Remarkables Ski Resort

The big mountain experience awaits you at The Remarkables. Get that feeling of pure freedom as you drop into sun-soaked bowls and world-renowned chutes. You will also take in the spectacular views across the Queenstown valley and beyond.

Featuring New Zealand’s first-ever double see-through lift tunnel in the learner’s area, and brand new Sugar’s lift in 2020, The Remarkables is a short 40-minute drive from downtown Queenstown and is a family favourite where kids five and under ski for free.

Known affectionately as The Remarks, Queenstown’s cloud-piercing peak has grown bigger than ever before with brand new lifts bringing the skiable terrain to 265.5 hectares. With a copious amount of learners’ space and one of the region’s best-loved terrain park set-ups, this is a must-do for everyone! Great afternoon sun on the deck brings out the European in everyone, and with 1,943 metres of elevation and 357 metres of vertical, there’s never a shortage of fun for young and old.
