More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A hard light breaks across Lake Wakatipu as you step from a 3-star lodge into the thin, cold air—Queenstown’s peaks already chalked in early morning snow. The shuttle hums up the highway, hairpin turns revealing cliffs of grey schist and open bowls that push you toward The Remarkables and Coronet Peak. On the chairlift the wind speaks in short, sharp gusts; the mountains dare you to make the next turn.
