A fantastic place to live and train. Queenstown is a lively town set amongst the dramatic lakes and mountains of the Southern Alps in New Zealand.
Amazing night life, a great selection of restaurants and an almost unlimited amount of activities: from the adrenaline junky to the outdoor enthusiast, there is something for all in Queenstown.
You will have access to two great ski areas; Coronet Peak and The Remarkables.
They are the best ski and snowboard resorts in the southern hemisphere. Quick lifts, easy access to brilliant terrain, and they both overlook Queenstown, which creates some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
