New Zealand is at COVID-19 Alert Level 1. Our international border is closed, but Queenstown is open and welcoming domestic travellers. We look forward to seeing you here soon.
Let Queenstown inspire you to adventure again. Fresh powder, vibrant apres ski and an unbeatable range of activities, there’s never been a better time to experience Queenstown.
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 for all snow lovers, no matter if you're a skier, rider, reveler, powder fiend or weekend warrior. There are four ski fields, all within a short drive of our town centre which offer quality snow and variety of terrain for all levels.

Known as the home of adventure, Queenstown offers plenty of world-famous activities and attractions off the mountain too. Soak in stunning outdoor hot pools, explore award-winning wineries or push your limits (or your mate's) with a bungy, jet boat or skydive! But the fun doesn't stop after dark either. Queenstown's town centre boasts one of New Zealand’s most vibrant après-ski scenes with over 100 bars and restaurants to keep the good times going well into the night.
