Remarkable Skiing in Queenstown
27 May 2011
When it gets hot... it's time to slope off.
Crispy days of clear blue skies, endless white powder and sublime vistas Queenstown is truly fit for royalty.
The crowned adventure capital of NZ overlooks the beautiful lake Wakatipu and is bounded by the craggy peaks of the Remarkables.
With everything from beginner slopes to rolling off-piste runs, they don't call this the Remarkables Ski Area for nothing. If you've just got the hang of zipping across the snow, you're sure to progress quickly here. More advanced? Runs like Terminator, Eliminator, Diangulator and Exterminator will leave your heart pumping.
Snowboarders we haven't forgotten you - Treble Cone and Cardrona offers you some pure free-riding experiences on the most scenic terrains imaginable. And for the kiddies... New Zealand's most comprehensive Children's Alpine Centre, perfect for little peeps from 3 months to 12 years.
When you're not seeking thrills and spills up in the slopes, Queenstown promises you other forms of heart-pumping adventures - bungee jumping, sky diving, canyoning, horseback-riding and river boarding, just to name a few. This Queen is also home to award-winning vineyards that will satiate your tastebuds.
Stay at The Rees to wake up every morning to fairytale views of Lake Wakatipu and the rugged ranges of the Remarkables in your fully-furnished apartment. With its own Observatory for star gazing, this is a definite Lightfoot favourite.
Singapore Airlines flies direct to Christchurch with Queenstown just an hour's domestic flight away.
