Queenstown Ski Holiday Packages
Set amid the magnificent Southern Alps in New Zealand's South Island, Queenstown boasts four world-class ski resorts within easy driving distance. If you're new to the slopes, Coronet Peak offers excellent facilities for learners, including four conveyors, modern, easy-to-use chair lifts and wide nursery slopes. The price of a full-day adult pass here starts at 139 New Zealand dollars (around £72) and will give you access to lifts at The Remarkables Ski Area. Located 6,375 feet above sea level, the "Remarks'' keeps powder hounds coming back for more with its 951 acres of skiable terrain and breathtaking views. Cardrona also offers plenty of winter fun.
