The Remarkables
Ski Bus
Getting to The Remarkables is easy; we're a scenic 24km from Central Queenstown. You can either drive yourself or catch a ride on The Remarkable's Ski Bus. The Ski Bus departs regularly from outside the Snow Centre on Duke St in Central Queenstown for an easy ride up and down the mountain in winter. We have a fleet of modern 4WD buses to carry you and your equipment in comfort.
We also offer a Ski Bus service to Coronet Peak ski area in Queenstown.

From 1st September it will be compulsory to wear a face covering on all public transport under Level 2. If you are catching one of our buses this rule will apply. Face coverings can be single-use or reusable, and you can use your ski buff, bandana or scarf as a face covering. Please remember a single-use face covering can only be worn once but fabric reusable face coverings can be washed and worn again. For more information on face coverings you can visit the Covid19.govt.nz website.
