About Coronet Peak
Coronet Peak is Queenstown's closest ski area and the oldest commercial field in New Zealand. Night skiing on Fridays and Saturdays keeps the energy high, and the Queenstown lights below make it one of the most photographed ski scenes in the country. A reliable choice for mixed groups — good beginner terrain at the bottom, solid intermediate runs mid-mountain.
