    This is one of the pictures taken of The Remarkables mountain range. It is also one of the most popular and scenic pictures taken about Queenstown. As you can see, Queenstown is right near The Remarkables on the edge of Lake Wakatipu. This picture can be taken access by the Skyline Gondola. And you don't need a very sophisticated camera to do so. I was just using a basic APS camera which worked just fine.

    Queenstown is home to The Remarkables which are a beautiful set of mountain peaks towering over Lake Whakatipu to the left of the town. The Remarkables Range was formed by faulting and folding of schist rock and was covered by glaciers during the ice age. The ranges get their name because of the stunning way they look as the sun sets behind them. If you are into skiiing then The Remarkables is just one of the many skiifields close to Queenstown (check the link below). My friend arranged her wedding on top of the mountain too! They were flown up by helicopter and were married perched above Queenstown amongst the stunning scenery.

    Queenstown from the Skyline Gondola, you won't getting a better view over the City, the southern most Alps and Lake Wakatipu, watch the Kea's flying...better keep an eye on him/her when landing

    Notice the rather strikingly-shaped inlet? I was told that it was a national park and that you need permission to enter. Nevertheless it is a striking view of Queenstown and part of the lake that can only be taken from Skyline Gondola building. You can choose to get a ticket for the Skyline view on its own or a package where you can also do the luge as well. The luge is fun for kids and adults and in winter, the ground is wet so it is faster. You can also choose to do bungy here from AJ.
