Activities
Surprisingly, most of the fun activities available to you during Summer are just as well served during spring. and a few of the winter ones too - like spring skiing and boarding! In fact, with lighter tourist numbers but pretty stable weather, Spring can sometimes be the magic months to travel to Queenstown and Arrowtown. There is always the leftover winter snow, but the season is complimented by rich greens of new growth in the fields and the cute white lambs born into the warmer longer days. It's a time we'd recommend that is well suited to pinot and pizza days, wine tasting and venturing further afield into Cromwell, Glenorchy and Arrowtown.
Overall, visiting Queenstown in spring allows you to experience the best of both the winter and summer seasons, with pleasant weather, stunning scenery, outdoor adventures, and a more relaxed atmosphere. It's an ideal time for travellers looking to avoid crowds while still enjoying the natural beauty and recreational opportunities that this remarkable destination has to offer.
