Queenstown's Majestic Peaks

Queenstown is defined by the dramatic topography of the Southern Alps and the Eyre Mountains surrounding Lake Wakatipu. This collection includes prominent landmarks like Ben Lomond and Walter Peak, known for their distinct silhouettes across the water. Elevations range from the accessible Bobs Peak, reached via the Skyline Gondola, to the remote 2,319-meter Eyre Peak. These summits feature varied terrain, including the jagged schist of the Remarkables range and the historical gold mining sites found on the slopes of Mount Crichton.
