The Remarkables

　　The Remarkables is both a sprawling mountain range in the Otago region and a well-known ski destination in New Zealand. It is situated near Lake Wakatipu in the Otago region and is called The Remarkables due to its towering and magnificent presence, which can be seen from Queenstown.

　　The Remarkables is one of only two mountain ranges in the world that run from north to south. With a height of 1,943 meters and a skiable area of 220 hectares, it is one of the most popular ski resorts in New Zealand. In the snowy winter, The Remarkables becomes a silver-clad skiing paradise, receiving an average annual snowfall of 3.67 meters, attracting visitors from all over the world. The best skiing season is from June to October each year, when dedicated lifts take skiers to the prime spots, allowing them to enjoy the thrill of speeding downhill and the joy of skiing.

　　Viewing Queenstown and the Remarkables Range bathed in the glow of the setting sun from the mountainside is also a delight. The lights of distant houses twinkle, while the nearby snow glistens white — a scene you’ll want to share with someone you love.
