Discover NZ Ski Season Accommodation

Find your ideal hotel

Discover the best skiing in New Zealand during NZ ski season. From snowy peaks in Queenstown to the rugged ranges of the Canterbury region, NZ ski season is unmissable. Home to some of the best ski fields in New Zealand, Queenstown offers a variety of terrain suitable for all levels of skiing, snowboarding and snow sports, generally from mid June, through to October.

Try Coronet Peak, situated only 20 minutes from Queenstown centre, or perhaps venture further out to The Remarkables Ski Resort for more protected conditions. With several ski fields to choose from, you may need to look at Queenstown accommodation options to make your visit truly worthwhile.

If you're looking for those skiing hotspots that keep the locals coming back, Christchurch and the Canterbury region should tick your boxes. Stretching from the ocean to the Alps, the Christchurch - Canterbury region boasts large sweeping ranges and Mt Hutt, 1 hour and 30 minutes from Christchurch, has the longest ski season compared to anywhere else in New Zealand.

If you're staying in picturesque Lake Tekapo, a short (30 minute) drive from Tekapo is Roundhill (referred to as Tekapo ski field). It's the perfect ski field for beginner practice and provides enough exictement for well seasoned experts.
