6 Days Ski Express New Zealand Tour Package
Duration : 6 Days / 5 Nights Priced From: Contact Travelwizard

The South Island of New Zealand is world renowned for having some of the best skiing in the world.
Your destination is Queenstown, the full on, non stop ski resort town that is home to Coronet peak and the Remarkables. Come here, ski till you drop and then let the good times roll as you soak up the après ski atmosphere.
Queenstown is the aprés ski and adventure capital of the Southern Hemisphere. Not only is this resort town surrounded by some of the most spectacular alpine scenery, it has a whole raft of adrenaline-pumping, heart-stopping activities on offer. Shoot the mountain gorge rapids by raft or jet boat, hurl yourself off bridges with a bungy cord around your ankles or ride by helicopter for outstanding views and sensational untracked powder.
If the most action you want after a day on the slopes is lifting a cold beer or a crisp chardonnay - then Queenstown is the place for that too. The town is known for its cafes, bars, restaurants and night-clubs - full of people from around the world who know how to party hard. During the daytime, there's great shopping, scenic trips on Lake Wakatipu, sight-seeing flights to stunning Milford Sound, international standard golf-courses and much more to give your holiday the ultimate mix of action and relaxation.
Needless to say, all this resort living is more than matched by the outstanding range of accommodation available in Queenstown. No matter what your style or budget, you'll find the ideal place to stay - all of them within easy reach of the town's two ski areas - Coronet Peak and The Remarkables & only a scenic drive away from Wanaka and Treble Cone ski area.
The Resorts
Coronet Peak
New Zealand's most famous snow resort, Coronet Peak sets the scene for some awesome snow action!
This is a mountain that's blessed with fantastic, varied natural terrain, outstanding views over Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu, and world class ski runs to suit all abilities of skiers and boarders. Everyone can ski like a pro at Coronet Peak - there are dedicated slopes for first timers, long wide groomed trails and plenty of choice for more experienced skiers. Once you know the ropes, you'll enjoy the vertical off the express quad, or exploring the rolling terrain with plenty of dips and drops for great variety. For boarders, Coronet is a natural terrain park, full of endless hits and powder stashes!
If skiing all day just isn't enough, Coronet Peak lets you ski all night as well, allowing you to make the most of your Ski Express package (Friday and Saturday nights, mid-July to mid-September). There's plenty of après ski activity at Coronet Peak too - relax in the brasserie, soak up the sun and the views. There is nothing to compare with this experience. Ski Express also has great prices on rental packages for all your gear including clothing, skis, boards and boots, the all-important ski and snowboarding school, along with club and creche facilities for the kids.
The Remarkables
Undoubtedly the South Island’s most spectacular ski area, The Remarkables has the season all wrapped up. The Remarks (as it’s known to the locals) is set in a vast natural amphitheatre high in the rugged ranges at the eastern end of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu. Being so far up is a major plus, giving the ski field a long, reliable season – and the north facing aspect makes it a natural sun-trap.
The Remarks is the best place in Queenstown to learn to ski, with a series of sheltered bowls all accessed by chair lifts. Nearly three quarters of the slopes are rated beginner to intermediate – but there’s still plenty of off-piste challenge if you’re inclined towards the extreme. The long Homeward Bound powder run is huge – ski down to the access road for a truck pick up back to base. It’s a must.
The Remarkables prides itself on the incredible family facilities and celebrates this feature with the renowned “Remarkables Spring Carnival” in September. The Remarks offers great powder days and awesome spring snow.
