Coronet Peak

Cardrona
1260 - 1860 m50 km56% easy pistes
Cardrona rises above Wanaka at the head of the Crown Range, a wide sunlit basin where families and freestylers share the same lift queues. The pub on the way up is a Kiwi institution, the McDougall's Express chair tops out at 1860 m, and the snow stays cold and predictable through a long Southern Alps winter.

Treble Cone
1250 - 2088 m50 km42% easy pistes
Treble Cone hangs above Lake Wanaka with the biggest vertical in the Queenstown Lakes, a quiet, expert-leaning mountain where the groomers run long and the off-piste keeps going long after they end. From the saddle you look straight across at Mount Aspiring, and the lift queues are a fraction of those across the lake.

Getting there
Which ski resort is closest to Queenstown Airport?+
Queenstown, in Southern Alps (NZ), is the nearest at about 6 km in a straight line. By mountain road it is longer, but nothing else is closer.
How are these distances measured?+
As the crow flies, from the airport coordinates to each resort. It is a fair way to rank what is nearest, but real driving distance is longer on winding Alpine roads, so treat it as an order of proximity, not a transfer time.
