The Remarkables

The Remarkables is so called because from the town of Queenstown, when you look up at the magnificent snow covered ridge line glowing in the pink hue of an evenings alpine glow the first words that come to mind are "that is remarkable". In the 1970's it was in behind this stunning and aptly name ridge line that The Remarkables ski area was developed. The fantastic potential of terrain was seen and the resort was created.
