Unique Features

These packages offer many unique features to make your holiday extra special:

Ski Guiding: A complimentary service for intermediate to advanced skiers or riders, join your hosts and fellow travellers for a two hour tour of the ski areas. Available daily at Coronet Peak and two days a week at all other resorts.
