Creating unforgettable Alpine Experiences

NZSki operates three ski areas in the Southern Alps of the South Island in New Zealand. Coronet Peak, Mt Hutt and The Remarkables.

Coronet Peak and The Remarkables are located in Queenstown, New Zealand’s premier four-season alpine resort destination. Mt Hutt is situated in Methven, 75 minutes from Christchurch and is the leading ski area in the Canterbury region.

Coronet Peak

Queenstown

Coronet Peak is Queenstown’s local mountain. It stands tall and proud, epitomising the energetic spirit of the resort town booming in the basin below. Since 1947, generations have learned, carved, raced, laughed, and made Good Times here.
