Queenstown's Cardrona Alpine Ski Resort is an isolated paradise. It is located under the snow-capped mountains. The whole village is very quiet. The most famous thing here is the bra wall. Various bras, colorfully hung on the fence, form a very peculiar scene, which is very interesting.
Cardrona Alpine Ski Resort is a must-visit for skiers in Queenstown. It is located at the foot of the ski resort. It is a small village with strong snow mountain characteristics. There are high-end resort hotels and many ski equipment shops. There is also a very famous bra fence. It is a very charming small village worth visiting.

The ski slopes are great, much better than the skiing scenery in the South Island!
But I came here for the award-winning cafe halfway up the mountain, which is really not to be missed!
It is considered a relatively good ski resort in New Zealand. Winter, which is the summer in the northern hemisphere, is a good time for skiing. Many people from Europe and the United States go there specifically for skiing. The ski resort has complete facilities and good conditions. You can drive directly to the foot of the mountain.

The Remarkables in Queenstown is a famous ski resort. The snow and ice here never melt all year round, and the slopes are both gentle and steep. It is definitely a natural ski resort, and many tourists come here to ski every year. The scenery here is also very beautiful, and the continuous snow-capped mountains are really spectacular and magical, which is really amazing.
There are many ski resorts in Queenstown, and the Remarkables Ski Resort is one of the most famous ones. It is very large and has many ski trails, suitable for ski enthusiasts at different stages. The facilities of the ski resort are also very advanced and complete, especially the ski lift. Everyone can easily go to the top of the mountain and experience the fun of skiing to their heart's content, which is very interesting.

Treble Cone Ski Resort is also a large ski resort in Queenstown. The slope here is relatively steep, which is more suitable for experienced skiers. And the number of skiers here is not as large as that of Mount Remarkable, so you can ski to your heart's content without any obstacles, which is 100% enjoyable.
The largest ski resort in South Island, not very suitable for beginners, but the scenery is really great.
