Winter paragliding in Queenstown is the ultimate alpine adventure, offering adrenaline-packed thrills and panoramic mountain views. If you’ve ever dreamed of gliding over snow-dusted peaks, this winter paragliding experience from the summit of Coronet Peak is one you can’t afford to miss.
Your adventure kicks off with a scenic ski lift ride to the launch point at 5,500ft above sea level. Along the way, soak in spectacular vistas of the Wakatipu Basin, The Remarkables, and Queenstown’s rugged alpine surroundings — the perfect photo opportunity before your flight.
At the top, you’ll meet your certified Skytrek tandem pilot for a full safety briefing. No experience is needed for this winter paragliding adventure, as your pilot takes care of everything while you simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the views. The combination of fresh alpine air, serene mountain silence, and the thrill of soaring high above the snow-covered landscape creates a truly unforgettable experience.
Expect your flight to last between 10–15 minutes, depending on conditions, offering plenty of time to marvel at Queenstown’s winter wonderland from a bird’s eye view. From the shimmering waters of Lake Wakatipu to the jagged peaks of Mt Aspiring National Park, every direction promises breathtaking scenery.
Mountain Access Notice: Please note that winter paragliding is only available once Coronet Peak Ski Field opens for the season. A chairlift pass is required to access the summit and can be purchased directly from Skytrek at check-in for $35 per person.
Capture your once-in-a-lifetime experience with an optional photo and video package available for purchase before your flight. Ask your pilot for details to take home stunning airborne footage.
Due to high demand, especially in peak ski season, it’s highly recommended to book your winter paragliding session early to secure your preferred date and time.
Whether you’re a seasoned thrill-seeker or first-time flyer, this alpine adventure delivers unbeatable excitement, views, and memories.
