Ski Your Way to Queenstown

Queenstown is laden with surprises at every corner, stairway and alleyway. There is so much to engage in that people from far out come to Queenstown to spend their vacations, the primary motive being skiing. The first thing to appreciate about skiing in Queenstown is the picturesque mountains that dot the town. The place is so beautiful with top-notch arrangement for skiers that over 50000 Australian ski enthusiasts flock to Queenstown every year!

Queenstown allows close access to two ski areas, namely the Coronet Peak and The Remarkables, both at a distance of 18 kilometres and 28 kilometres respectively. Coronet Peak is an intermediate mountain but has a good span of terrain for all other levels. It also has a new quad-seat chairlift that improves access. This new inclusion also makes night-skiing a good option. On the other hand, The Remarkables are truly remarkable. They have some steep chutes for professional skiers, at the same time easy terrain is plentiful to cater to the amateurs. Courtesy its stunning scenery, the alpine resort of Queenstown is rightfully the ski capital of New Zealand.

Queenstown is easily accessible from major cities in New Zealand. One of the best ways to get to Queenstown is through car rentals. They allow you to leisurely explore Queenstown and its nearby destinations, allowing enough time for photo ops on the way. Book a car of your choice at extremely cheap rental rates by visiting the website. The website would require you to fill a short form pertaining to your itinerary.
