Ski Field - The Remarkables
Remarkables Ski Field Queenstown
ENZ Experiences Ltd Review
The Remarkables is ideal for familes with its huge beginner area and state of the art facilities but also offers some of the best off piste skiing in NZ. Nothing beats Homeward run after a fresh dump of powder! If you're not a beginner or don't want to go off piste then Remarkables can get a bit boring as the main ski runs aren't that interesting.
Lift passes are unable to be pre purchased so we don't have any ski packages available for Coronet Peak. However, if you do need to hire clothing, skis, boots or snowboards then we recommend orgainsing them before you head up the mountain. This will save you the hassel of organising it first thing in the morning before you ski and also saves money as they are heaps cheaper than hiring gear on the mountain. Check out the Skis, Boards & Clothing Rental page on our site.
We recommend you book a Cardrona ski field package as the snow is often superior and there are less people with more open spaces to enjoy beginner and intermediate skiing and boarding. Check out the Cardrona Ski Field Ski Packages available on our site.
If you are an advanced skier or boarder then consider going to Treble Cone for the most challenging terrain in the New Zealand. It's a bit further away but worth it if the snow is good!

Latest Questions about Ski Field - The Remarkables
Would like to drive up to the Remarkables Ski Fields, if it is snowing do they allow cars to still drive up? Or is this for 4wd's only? Thank you

Hi , is there a car park at the base of the remarkables mountain? & do I have to book a shuttle bus from there?
Comments
Yes there is a park at the base of the Remarkables, and you need to book the shuttle
Do the shuttle buses back into town have to be full to go back? We fly out at 5pm and don’t want to get stuck up there because the buses won’t be leaving from 1.30 due to no passengers.
Comments
Thanks for your question about the Remarkables ski area transport! I can confirm that the buses depart every 30 minutes as long as there is at least 1 person on board. So the 1:30 bus will depart at 2pm at the latest. Will you be flying domestically or internationally? Queenstown airport can be extremely busy at times so I do recommend giving yourself enough time.

Hello. Yes campervans do drive up the remarkables ski field. It is not really recommended as the best option as the road is very windy and depending on the conditions snow chains can be required to make it. There is plenty of parking to fit all kinds of vehicles.
