Queenstown: Yup, we’re here to help things run as smooth as possible (not as smooth as you on the slopes though - that’s not possible). Queenstown: This high alpine pass connects Queenstown and Wanaka and offers show-stopping views of the valley looking over the Wakatipu Basin. You’ll also find a historic pub on the way, made popular by the gold-miners from the 1860s gold rush. Cardrona: Stargazing, gondola riding, snow-tubbing, champagne-sipping, and of course, skiing! There’s so much you can do at one of the most iconic skiing locations in New Zealand - and that’s where we’ll begin spend today. Queenstown: This ’remarkable’ spot in New Zealand is popular for its sun-filled bowls, world-renowned chutes and unique resorts. Whether you’re a beginner, or a season ski expert, snowy fun is guaranteed here. Queenstown: A NZ ski-trip is incomplete without visiting the world-famous Coronet Peak AKA the original ski resort in the area.
