Skiing Queenstown and the Southern Lakes
Your Queenstown skiing holiday isn't complete if you don't come across and see us at Treble Cone. Make the scenic drive across the Crown Range and complete your tour of all of the Southern Lakes' skiing options.
Surrounded by majestic mountains and nestled on the shores of crystal clear Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is the most well known New Zealand ski destination. Not surprising with four large ski areas within easy driving distance, skiing Queenstown and the Southern Lakes is the easiest way to sample New Zealand skiing. And not surprising with all that Queenstown has to offer when you are not skiing.
Whatever your idea of the ideal ski holiday, Queenstown will entertain you and anyone in your party that might like to take the odd day off the slopes. But if you are serious about your skiing and challenging yourself, then your Queenstown skiing experience isn't complete without a trip to see us at TC.
Ski Queenstown with an Edge
A visit to Treble Cone's world-renowned terrain, with its unmatched access to backcountry terrain, uncrowded slopes and reliable snow cover, should be part of your time skiing Queenstown. We encourage you to take a scenic trip across the Crown Range and sample the best ski field view in the Southern Lakes, ski some of New Zealand's most exciting ski terrain and enjoy Wanaka's laid back vibe for a while.
Treble Cone is a very manageable day trip from Queenstown and Wanaka offers a different ski resort experience, you shouldn't visit the Southern Lakes for skiing without coming across to Treble Cone.
Southern Lakes Ski Holidays - More than Just Skiing
Skiing is one of the many activities and attractions that could be part of your winter visit to Queenstown. The quick highlight list has to include:
- Ziptrek and the luge at the top of Skyline Gondola, a Queenstown icon that should be on your itinerary
- AJ Hackett Bungy with all their sites and now the new Nevis Arc - a huge rope swing!
- Off Road Adventures - sporting quad bikes make this a fun highlight which most can enjoy.
- Golf - can be a late start to allow the greens to thaw out in winter but in Queenstown the mountains are rivalled by the Golf courses. Kelvin heights and Arrowtown were the main stays and still the big local memberships but now they have been joined by the resort courses of Millbrook, Jacks Point and 'Hill Brook'. It does get expensive at the very top end, $550 for a round at Hill brook but obviously you are spoilt for choice.
Plus more than anything SO much to EAT and so much to DRINK.
Skiing Queenstown and the Southern Lakes is a classic New Zealand holiday experience. Come and see us at TC while you are in Queenstown to experience all the skiing our region has to offer.
