Coronet Peak, Mountain summit near Queenstown, New Zealand
Coronet Peak is a 1,649-meter mountain near Queenstown with a broad network of trails that descend through varied terrain. These routes offer views across Lake Wakatipu and Lake Hayes.
In 1947, tourism pioneer Harry Wigley founded New Zealand's first commercial ski field here with a single rope tow. This marked the start of organized winter sports in the region.
The illuminated slopes during winter evenings draw winter sports enthusiasts from the region and beyond together for night skiing.
The mountain lies 16 kilometers from Queenstown and is reachable via a sealed road or regular bus service. Equipment rental facilities operate at the base.
The mountain holds the Southern Hemisphere's most extensive snowmaking system and enables New Zealand's longest ski day. Skiers can use the slopes from early morning through the night.
