The Remarkables rises boldly from the shores of Lake Wakatipu, creating an instantly recognisable silhouette above Queenstown. This modern mountain resort combines extensive learning facilities with advanced alpine terrain across 385 hectares. With seven different parks and exceptional backcountry access, The Remarkables offers compelling terrain for all skill levels, from first-day skiers to expert riders exploring the legendary Homeward Bowl.

A comprehensive network of six lifts, including three high-speed quad chairs and three conveyor lifts, services The Remarkables' varied terrain. The Sugar Bowl Express opens up advanced terrain and chutes, while the Curvey Basin Express accesses wide-open bowls and progressive learning zones. This modern lift system efficiently moves skiers across the mountain's 357 meters of vertical drop, minimizing wait times even during peak periods.
