The Remarkables mountain range, Otago

From the road to Coronet Peak, which is home to one of New Zealand’s most famous ski resorts, the view opens up across to the Remarkables, whose striking silhouette leaves a lasting impression on every visitor to Queenstown. They flank the deep blue Lake Wakatipu and are bordered to the north by the ruggedly beautiful Kawarau Gorge. In recent years, this region has become increasingly well-known for the excellent produce of its wineries.
