The Remarkables

Fun for the whole family, The Remarkables ski area offers sunny north facing terrain and facilities to suit anyone from first-timers to advanced skiers and high-flying freestylers.

Located a mere 40 minutes from the town centre, the ski field boasts an impressive architecturally designed base building, and high-speed six-seater chairlifts to the slopes of Curvey Basin and Sugar Bowl.

This season, the popular Cross Fall and Serpentine trails have been widened, and more snow guns have been installed, for an even more exciting Remarkables ski experience. A firm local favourite and the ultimate place to ski off-piste on a powder day.
