Why not add a ski adventure at The Remarkables to your Queenstown holiday, and enjoy the best that the area has to offer.
Treble Cone
Here is a ski field that actively markets itself as being family friendly, with something on offer for all ability levels and ages. With great value family passes on offer and full gear available to hire, Treble Cone makes a day on the slopes a fun and affordable experience.

Mount Hutt
Another family favourite, Mount Hutt sweetens the snow holiday deal by offering a very special promotion to families with children who are less than 10 years of age.
