Providing good times since 1947

Coronet Peak, located in Queenstown – New Zealand, was the country’s first commercial ski area. The mountain is Queenstown’s urban playground, only 20 minutes from downtown along a sealed road. Guests are treated to freshly groomed trails during First Tracks from 8am daily, right through to Night Skiing on select nights until 9pm. An extensive state-of-the-art snowmaking set up (the largest in the Southern Hemisphere) ensures peak conditions throughout the whole season. In addition to a jam-packed winter, summer operations include sightseeing, with the Peak Gondola and chairlift accessed mountain bike trails. A dedicated bus service operates throughout the day from the centre of Queenstown. As well as this a night time service is available for Night Ski events.
