Ski Lake Wanaka

Lake Wanaka is only on hour, via the Crown Range, from Queenstown.  It is here that winter ski holidays take on a slightly more leisurely pace.

The boutique township of Wanaka is nestled around the edge of Lake Wanaka and is surrounded by the rugged Otago landscape and the spectacular Southern Alps.  Stroll the streets and be inspired by quaint galleries, stylish shops and tasty cafes and restaurants.  Come nightfall Lake Wanaka comes alive and you don't need to go far to find friendly locals, a roaring open fire and outstanding local wines.

As the gateway to Mt Aspiring National Park, Lake Wanaka is a magnet for outdoor lovers from all over the world.  It is no accident that some of the best winter snow sports are found in this immediate area. Spectacular skiing and riding is complemented by heli-skiing, ice-climbing, freestyle skiing (at Snow Park NZ) and Nordic skiing (at Snow Farm).

Accommodation and Activities

Should you be seeking a change of pace from the slopes, then there is plenty of off-piste action in Lake Wanaka.  Take to the skies on board the latest chopper or fixed wing aircraft and if you are really keen you can even take on the challenge of skydiving!

Children will be mesmerised by the maze and puzzle attractions in Wanaka and be captivated by the toy museum seemingly packed with every toy ever created!

Nurture your weary bones with a massage, spa treatment or hot soak. 

Stunning views await from luxurious hide-away lodges nestled in the most exquisite of locales,  lakefront hotels and serviced apartments while the convenience of motels and backpackers – for the budget conscious- round out your choice of places to stay in Wanaka.
