Located in the heart of the Southern Alps and set against a stunning lake and alpine backdrop, Queenstown offers New Zealand's ultimate winter holiday experience - no matter if you're a skier, rider, or simply want to play in the fluffy stuff.
There are four ski fields, all within a short drive of the town centre which offer a variety of terrain for all levels, quality snow, and a lengthy ski season from June through to October 2022.
Queenstown offers plenty of iconic activities off the mountain too. Soak in stunning outdoor hot pools, sip award-winning wine, push your limits (or your mate's) with a bungy, jet boat or skydive. But the fun doesn't stop after dark either. Queenstown has one of New Zealand’s most vibrant après-ski scenes with over 150 bars and restaurants to keep the good times going!
