There's nothing quite like strapping on your skis and racing downhill on fresh snow. Let Shadow Basin Chair take you up the mountain for an exciting day on the slopes.

You're spoiled for sightseeing choice in Kawarau Falls. Shadow Basin Chair is a good place to start here, but there are lots of other worthy spots to experience. The Remarkables Ski Area, Gibbston Valley Winery, and Jacks Point Golf Course are not far from the mountainside transportation system and will top off your day nicely.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (64 reviews)

A beautiful apartment, great views, and very responsive staff. We stayed as a family of four and the room set up was perfect for us - a real added bonus with the garage, washer, and dryer too.
