Welcome to Coronet Peak

Make the most of the natural terrain at Coronet Peak. Starting at the top of the Coronet Express chairlift, our trails are fun and flowy with breathtaking alpine views and technical trails for those inclined.

You can expect non-stop Good Times here at The Peak, and because trails are accessed by chairlift it means you get faster laps and more vertical. We have a range of passes available with day, sunset or season passes on offer.


We're now closed for the summer - see you back up here for winter from 29 May!
