The Remarkables

The Remarkables (Māori: Kawarau) are a mountain range and skifield in Otago in the South Island of New Zealand.

Located on the southeastern shore of Lake Wakatipu, the range lives up to its name by rising sharply to create a remarkable backdrop for the waters.

The adjacent Tapuae-o-Uenuku / Hector Mountains southeast of the Remarkables culminate in Mount Tūwhakarōria (2307 m).

The ski area has three mountain bowls covering 220 ha (540 acres) with eight lifts (4 chairlifts, 4 magic carpets).

An independent operator have released his plans to build a gondola lift from the Remarkables Town Centre to the ski field's base.
