About

Rising like jagged teeth from the southern shores of Lake Wakatipu, The Remarkables isn't just dramatically named – it's dramatically positioned. This ski field sits at the highest altitude of all Queenstown's mountains, which means when other fields are dealing with heavy, wet snow, The Remarkables serves up that dreamy powder that makes every turn feel effortless. The drive up alone is worth it; the road winds through golden tussock grasslands before delivering you to base lodge at 1,630 meters, where the air is crisp and the views stretch across the entire Wakatipu Basin.

Highlights

  • Highest altitude ski field in Queenstown for superior powder snow conditions
  • Three distinct terrain basins catering to all skill levels from beginner to expert
  • Spectacular 360-degree views of Lake Wakatipu and Central Otago mountain ranges
  • Family-friendly Shadow Basin with magic carpet and gentle learning slopes
  • Advanced terrain park and halfpipe in Homeward Basin for freestyle enthusiasts
  • Sugar Bowl's challenging off-piste terrain for expert skiers seeking adventure
  • Extended season running into October due to high elevation snow retention
  • Stunning alpenglow lighting for afternoon skiing creating unforgettable photo opportunities
