Queenstown is considered the "adrenalin" capital of New Zealand and is known for its wide range of adventure & outdoor activities. Set in a picturesque valley with the
Remarkables Mountains as a backdrop, it reminds the visitor of Aspen. It is a four-season resort & in the winter is an alpine playground. Summer in Queenstown
(December-February). The temperature rarely goes above 72 degrees & in winter (June-August) it ranges between 32 & 48.
Queenstown is located right next to beautiful Lake Wakatipu.

activities.
