The Remarkables is a stunning mountain range that dominates over Queenstown. We run guided one-day ascents of Single and Double Cone, the highest points on the Remarkables, during both winter and summer.

The Remarkables have a variety of awesome summits and journeys suitable for all abilities and experience levels, some possibilities include;

  • Single Cone, the highest peak in The Remarkables Range!
