The Remarkables – one of only two mountain ranges in the world which run directly north to south

The Remarkables are a mountain range and skifield in Otago in the South Island of New Zealand. Located on the southeastern shore of Lake Wakatipu, the range lives up to its name by rising sharply to create an impressive backdrop for the waters. The range is clearly visible from the nearby town of Queenstown.

The mountains were named The Remarkables by Alexander Garvie in 1857-58, allegedly because they are one of only two mountain ranges in the world which run directly north to south.

🚘The Remarkables road is a 13,2km scenic journey climbing up to the Remarkables ski fields, at an elevation of 1.622m above the sea level. It’s one of the highest roads in the country. The views on the drive begin almost immediately up the road.
