Introduction

Coronet Peak, about 20 minutes from central Queenstown, opened in 1947 as New Zealand's first commercial ski field. At 1,649 m it offers 280 hectares of terrain from beginner greens to double blacks, plus the Southern Hemisphere's only night skiing; in summer it turns to mountain biking and paragliding — a year-round Queenstown mountain.
