Skiable terrain<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n

The Remarkables sits on the biggest mountain on the South Island and boasts 385 hectares with a 468-metre vertical drop.

To step up the challenge, you can explore the off-piste areas.<\/p>\n\n\n

Family amenities<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n

The Remarkables Ski Area is fun for the whole family, with features and activities that specifically cater to both kids and adults. These include the designated beginner areas, the ski school for kids and the child care facilities for kids ages 4 and up.

Some lodges are budget-friendly and cater to your desire to eat, sleep and get back on the slopes as soon as possible. If you would prefer an extended holiday with touches of luxury, you have options there as well, such as family lodges and chalet-style rooms with wood accents and conveniently catered food.

Queenstown\u00a0family holiday homes<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n

When you want more than a hotel experience to fully enjoy your holiday at The Remarkables, you can look into one of the nearby holiday homes in Queenstown. Because Queenstown is all about skiing and snowboarding in the winter, many of the bed-and-breakfast rentals and holiday homes specifically cater to skiers and riders. Family holiday homes also provide children’s features, such as toys, games and media with streaming services. Also, because a long day on the slopes can take a lot out of you, you can come back to your holiday home and soak in a hot tub to get rejuvenated for the next day carving through the fresh powder.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
