Operated by Better By Bike NZ · Arrowtown, Otago
In the shadow of New Zealand’s South Island peaks, Better By Bike NZ offers a standout way to access powder-laden slopes and alpine vistas with their Private Snow Shuttles. Operating from Arrowtown, a historic gold rush village in Otago, this service connects adventurers directly to three of the region’s premier ski fields: Coronet Peak, Remarkables, and Cardrona. Each destination delivers its own unique blend of terrain and scenery, making these shuttles essential for those eager to maximize their day on the mountain.
From the moment a driver picks you up at your accommodation around 8:30 a.m., the day unfolds with ease and anticipation. You’re transported in comfort and privacy, bypassing the hassle of public transport or parking woes. Arriving at any of the three ski resorts, you have up to eight hours to carve fresh tracks, soak up alpine panoramas, and revel in the dramatic geological backdrop of towering schist peaks and glacial valleys.
Coronet Peak is known for its versatile runs and sweeping ridgelines, while the Remarkables boast steep gradients and rugged terrain that challenge intermediate to expert riders. Cardrona’s broad, sunny slopes provide welcoming terrain for all skill levels and are famous for their sheer scale and winter events. Each location's alpine ecosystem includes native beech forest pockets and endemic bird species, adding natural interest beyond the snow.
