Coronet Peak, Queenstown. Just 20 minutes from the heart of Queenstown, it’s New Zealand’s original ski field and still one of the most popular for good reason. With rolling terrain, modern lifts, and incredible sunrise and night skiing sessions, Coronet Peak offers something for everyone, from first-timers to thrill-seekers carving up groomed trails. The views over Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables are unforgettable, and the atmosphere is lively, social, and uniquely Queenstown.
