From $93.00 NZD Per Adult

Experience Skyline Gondola Luge — Queenstown’s ultimate combo of stunning alpine views and adrenaline-pumping luge rides. Epic fun for all ages!

The experience

Take your Queenstown adventure to the next level with the Skyline Gondola Luge — the ultimate combination of epic scenery and adrenaline-packed fun. Perfect for families, couples, and thrill-seekers alike, this adventure lets you soar above Queenstown and race down two purpose-built luge tracks.

Begin your day in style by riding the iconic Skyline Gondola to the summit of Bob’s Peak. From the top, take in jaw-dropping panoramic views over Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown township, and the snow-capped Remarkables mountain range. The scenery alone is worth the trip.

But the real excitement begins with the Skyline Gondola Luge rides. Strap yourself into your luge cart and get ready for an action-packed descent down 1,600 meters of thrilling twists, turns, tunnels, and banked corners. Choose between the scenic track for a laid-back cruise or the advanced track for serious thrills.

Each luge ride takes around 15–20 minutes, and after you reach the bottom, a dedicated chairlift carries you back to the start so you can go again — and again! Your package includes 6 luge rides, so there’s plenty of time to perfect your racing line or just enjoy the rush.

The Skyline Queenstown PhotoPass comes standard with every gondola ticket, allowing you to capture unforgettable moments against the stunning alpine backdrop. Download high-quality images instantly or purchase premium print products and luge action shots at the on-site photo kiosks.
