From Wanaka, we easily travelled across the mountain pass most days to Coronet Peak (about an hour from The Pines to the ski slopes), where we left our newly confident skier while we explored the Queenstown area. Queenstown is a delight, with the highlight being a drive along the length of the lake to Glenorchy. The scenery in the whole area is spectacular and the ambience charming.
