Ski Coronet Peak.
Queenstown’s Home of Good Times
Ask any Queenstowner and they’ll tell you Coronet is the local’s mountain. Not just because it’s 20 minutes from town, but because it’s part of the community. Since 1947, generations have learned, carved, raced, laughed, and made memories here.

A quick heads up
Rental discounts apply to consecutive day bookings only. If you have a lesson booked, allow up to 1 hour before your lesson start time for fitting and orientation.
The Coronet Peak Snowsports School has you sorted. From first-timer lessons and confidence-building kids’ programmes to private and performance coaching from some of the best coaches in the world.
Whether you’re clipping in for the first time or fine-tuning your turns, our world-class coaches know how to meet you where you’re at and help you push a bit further.
Lesson options range from half day to to full day and multi-day programmes.
Our Guest Services desk is located at the entrance of the base building. We recommend pre-purchasing products before your day on the maunga; however, if you need to make a purchase on the day or have a query, our Guest Services team are happy to help.
Purchased your passes online? With your email confirmation, you can skip the queue and collect your passes from our self-service kiosks, located outside the base lodge at car park level.
For an extra smooth day on the slopes, sort you MyPass & Rentals out the day before by swinging into our Queenstwon Snow Centre at 25 Shotover Street. Less time sorting things out and a lot more Good Times.
Swing by the Workshop right here on the mountain. Whether it’s a busted binding, a base grind or just a bit of wax to keep you sliding, our crew have the tools and know-how to sort you out and get you back out there. Too easy.
Refresh your gear or replace that missing glove with a visit to our on-mountain retail shop. The Coronet Peak store stocks a range of current ski gear like helmets, jackets, pants & goggles to help keep you comfortable on the hill.
You'll also find the basics here to help make the most of your day, from sunscreen to basic accessories, we got you.
Looking for something to remember your Good Times at The Peak? Our merch range includes beanies, epic T-shirts and hoodies, an easy way to take a piece of the maunga home with you.

WHERE GOOD TIMES MEET GREAT TASTE
Heidi's Hut
The locals favourite
Tucked away in Rocky Gully, at the bottom of the T-Bar, Heidi’s Hut is an alpine gem worth the detour. Expect wood-fired pizza, mulled wine, fondue, a hot tub with stunning views and European alpine vibes.
Coronet Grab & Go
Grab a bite on the go
Grab & Go has something for everyone! Pies, burgers, fish & chips and steamed buns. Perfect for that quick refuel.
West End Eatery
Fuel up with some warm kai
Open for hot breakfasts, roasted meats, hearty sides, fresh salads, ramen, and cabinet food to fuel your day.
ALTITUDE Bar
The locals watering hole
Tucked inside the base building, Altitude Bar is where the stories flow as easily as the local craft beers. It’s the ideal spot for a little après.
The Sled Shed
Waffles - Snow Play Area
The ultimate pit stop for those chasing Good Times and great views. Swing by for a local brew or a cheeky mulled wine, then hit the build-your-own waffle station, all served with a side of alpine air and front-row seats to the slopes.
Aperol Ice bar
Mid mountain magic
Found mid-mountain at the top of Pumphouse Steeps (almost halfway down the M1). This is your chance to pause, take a breath and drink in hand, and take it all in.
Expect panoramic basin views, crisp alpine air, and a curated selection of beer, bubbles, and light snacks served straight from the snow. Just you, the view, and a well-earned moment in the mountains.
HEIDI'S HOT TUB
Relax on the slopes
Perched beside the legendary Heidi’s Hut is another après indulgence option. Heidi’s Hot Tub is your go-to for a midday unwind or a post-ski reward. Towels are available to hire and change facilities are a short step away.
Just 20 Minutes from Queenstown
Easy access to epic slopes
We’re just 16km from Central Queenstown via a fully sealed alpine road. You can either drive yourself up or book a return ride on the Coronet Peak Ski Bus.

We love snow, it’s what we do. But when Mother Nature is a little shy, we like to give her a hand.
There are three key factors that create the ideal conditions for us to make fantastic snow:
- Cold temperatures, -2.5 wet-bulb at a minimum (wet-bulb is a calculation of humidity and ambient temperature)
- Light to no wind
- Clear skies and no moisture in the air
We have 232 fully automated snow guns, supplied with water by 9 pumps from 4 pump-houses capable of flowing 300+ litres per second. 5 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 285,000,000 litres.
We catch and reuse 80% of the water that we use. All this makes for the biggest automated system in the southern hemisphere!
We highly recommend booking online before you arrive, especially during weekends, holidays and powder days. Booking ahead helps you lock in the best price and makes your day on the mountain smoother from the get-go.
The snow report is posted daily throughout the ski season and is regularly updated throughout the day with the latest lift status, snowfall, weather and road conditions.
Absolutely. Coronet Peak is one of the best places to learn in New Zealand, with wide beginner areas, dedicated learning spaces and easy progression terrain. Add in fast lifts, friendly instructors and Queenstown just down the road, and you’ve got the perfect setup for first turns.
We keep things simple up here at Coronet Peak. Everything you need for a smooth day on the snow is right at base, no mucking about.
Facilities
You’ll find bathrooms, changing areas, outside storage for easy access, and paid storage lockers in our Base Building. Whether you're travelling light or toting the full whānau setup, we’ve got space to stash your gear while you hit the slopes.
Rentals
First time up the hill? Travelling light? Our on-mountain Rental Centre has you sorted with skis, snowboards, boots, helmets and waterproof outerwear.
Food & Coffee
We have a range of cafes & restaurants on-mountain to keep you fueled for the day whether you're looking for a hearty meal, quick snack, or a cheeky aperol to end your day on a high, we've got something to match your speed.
Lessons
Whether it's their first slide or they’re ready to level up, our ski and snowboard lessons are run by qualified instructors who know how to keep it fun and confidence-building for both kids and adults.
Getting Around
We’ve made getting around easy. From our fast lifts to our free car park shuttles running all day between lower lots. No need to carry all the gear uphill.
Extras
We’ve got free Wi-Fi at base, water refill stations, and a team of legends on hand to help you out. Got a question? Just ask, we’re all about making your day epic.
A MyPass is a small card, about the size of a credit card you need to use to access the passes you've purchased for Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Mt Hutt. It allows you to access the conveyors and lifts, as well as any rental gear, lessons or Queenstown Ski Bus rides you have purchased. On top of that, you can add MyPass Money to your MyPass card as credit for purchasing anything on our mountains. Since all the mountains are cashless, it’s perfect for giving the kids something to buy their lunch with.
To get your MyPass card, you can pick one up from our Guest Services team or our self-serve kiosks in one of the following locations:
- Coronet Peak, in the base building – right by ground floor entrance.
- The Remarkables, in the base building – right by ground floor entrance.
- Mt Hutt, in the base building – right by ground floor entrance.
- Our Snow Centre in downtown Queenstown.
On-mountain ski, snowboard and helmet rentals are available for adults and children, along with jackets and pants. For hygiene reasons, gloves and goggles are not available to rent. If you need them, our on-mountain snow shop stocks the latest gear and is an easy stop for any last-minute essentials. We recommend booking rentals online in advance during peak periods to save time on arrival.
