The Remarkables - Queenstown, New Zealand
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2021
- The Remarkables are a spectacular mountain range and ski field in stunning Queenstown, New Zealand. You can see The Remarkables when you're out and about in Queenstown but did you know you can go right up it too (even if you don't ski or snowboard)?
There are other things to do at The Remarkables other than snow sports and it's well worth a visit just for the magnificent views up on the mountain.
If you're driving up, make sure you check the snow/weather report online before heading up The Remarkables. It will let you know all the current conditions and whether snow chains are required for your vehicle too:
www.theremarkables.co.nz/weat...
We went in winter and it was pretty muddy at the carpark. If you're planning on doing the scenic activities we did, be sure to dress warm (warmer than we did at least with some gloves, thermals and beanies) and make sure you wear sunscreen plus take water with you.
Check out Entranced by Wilderness' blog post for a successful hike to see beautiful Lake Alta frozen over:

Fergbaker is right next to the famous Fergburger and it's open 7 days as week. You'll find delicious baked goodies as well as hot and cold drinks there too.
Fergbaker
Address: 40 Shotover Street, Queenstown 9300
Hours: Open everyday 6am-2am (sometimes 4am)

"The Remarkables" sounds like a gangster movie title! 😅😅
It does! 😂
😂 💥💥💥
Wow amazing....
💯 such a cool place
That view from the top of that hard walk is just Stunning ..so beautiful
Makes it all work it when you see something like that, incredible
Been all over the north island and seen all the sounds but never went past nelson .but it looks amazing thanks😎😎😎
😁 it is pretty amazing around the southern alps especially 🇳🇿❤
Your vlogs cheer me up every Sunday morning. Thank you for showing us how beautifully awesome New Zealand is. Keep safe with the recent Level 4.
Hi May thanks for dropping the comment. Always makes us happy to hear when people really enjoy the videos that we make. Staying in doors till it all blows over. Hope you're taking care too ❤
The Remarkables mountain range is indeed remarkable. Excellent episode. Yen has such a nice & stylish pair of sunglasses, love it....
Hahaha it's really the perfect name for the mountains right cause when you look at it, it's the first word you wanna say... "remarkable" 😂
Still beautiful place. Thank you for taking new Zealand 🇳🇿with you.
No worries thank you so much for watching 😁👍
The Remarkables are very remarkable.
So beautiful!! Its better than Ruapehu.
Loving your South Island road trip 😍🇳🇿💖
🤔 ooooo that's a tough one. Cause the frozen waterfall is one of the most amazing things we've ever seen.. tough!
The Remarkables really dominate from a distance
Yup definitely, iconic landscape 🇳🇿💎
Perfect - heading to Queenstown soon and I must all these places x
Nice have an awesome time there 🤙
Those windy roads on the mountains in Queenstown is giving me flashbacks to when I just sat there looking out of the car window at the snowy mountains when I went there. ❄️🏔
Crazy view from the drive to the mountain ⛰ glad we're able to bring back some memories for ya 👍
Awesome video 👏 👏 👏. Truly enjoy it. I miss NZ a lot.
Thanks Fifi glad you enjoyed the video 😁✌ come back and visit sometime
Watched in September 2021
Omg shout out to you guys walking up that snow ❄️
😂 thank you for the props... that was one heck of a hike 😅
it's great. you got a very nice clear day. wow, look at those vieeeeeeews!!!
Beautiful huh 🙂👍
Great effort with the hike guys! Hope you're staying well in L4
Thanks Tom 😁✌ we're doing well just chilling around the house till level 4 is over
Wonderful video. We have visited Queenstown many times but never been up to the Remarkables.. Thanks for sharing . Stay safe in Auckland. Debbie & Patrick in Wellington
Definitely worth visiting next time you're able to go to Queenstown 🙂👍🏔️ Thanks Debbie and Patrick! You guys stay safe too over in Wellington.
So nice tour in Queentown. Thanks my friend. Have a nice weekend. Greetings from Vietnam
Hi Peter & Yen, another great video.
Thank you so much for showing us snowy mountains. Lamb shank pie looks delicious. I hope next year winter time New Zealand border open to travellers from Singapore.
🤞 everything goes back to normal by then. Looking forward to coming back to Singapore sometime, missing ba ku teh 🤤
So pretty, ive got serious food envy right now. There pies are amazing, i think i got the curry one last time i was there.
Mmmm curry pie sounds awesome too. We actually went back another night just to get some more baked goods 😂
It’s one of the things that we always remember dearly about Queenstown. The view is just spectacular!
Hope one day we can get to enjoy and visit the top like you guys did in this video. Thanks for sharing this information 👍🏻
We didn’t know it before too! We thought it is only for skiiers and snowboarders. 😆
It's been a lot of fun finding more off the beaten path kind of adventures since we have more time to travel. Had a lot of fun making these kinds of videos especially 😁👍
1:51 that view looks amazing! It's great how they made space to stop there. I'm always so sad when we're driving and there's no place to take any photos whenever there are stunning views like that
New Zealand is really good like that. Usually there is a decent place to pull off and take some pictures.
We were there in January. Queenstown was indeed beautiful and night sky was still light at 11pm. Fergburger was delicious, so much varieties at fergbaker, I had different gourmet sandwiches.
The sun usually settles much later in the day during summer 😁 sounds like you had a great time in queenstown
Peter and Yen, that opening shot blew my mind and reminded me of something in Jasper National Park as well as Interlaken, SW. Loved this Vlog. Keep them coming.
Thanks mate! The remarkables are an iconic mountain range in queenstown. From most places you look you're able to see them 👌
Wow, the view from the top of the Remarkables is pretty darn epic!!🏔️
So lucky to get two good days in a row as well 😊
It was super lucky 😁👍we had generally pretty good weather the entire trip only a few showers and light rain 🌧 had an amazing time
You guys have to be starving after that crazy day! Lamb shank pie would be my choice too 👍
After we got back I regret not trying more of the pies now cause that lamb shank was bomb as 👌
You guys always find the most amazing looking pie places! They always give me cravings for pies 😋
Thanks guys 😁👍
Wow, what a beautiful ski resort!
😁 there are a few really nice ski fields in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Wow! Incredible views guys!! Seriously incredible.
It reminds us a bit (without the snow) of the mountains we were just at in the south of Serbia.
I never let Lieles look to the sides when he is driving lol, I am always saying "don't look but it is sooo beautiful" 🤣🤣
Absolutely astonishing!!!!
Wow Lamb shanks in a pie, that is the dream!! We love it too
Donuts for life!!!
Hahahaha I get that from yen too, don't look wow wow 😅 always makes me wanna look. Was an epic day thinking back on it and topped off with that pie 🥧 😍 Serbia 🇷🇸 now that sounds like an adventure 🤔 😉
Queenstown has some amazing scenes. I need to head back there!
💯 too true one of the nicest places in New Zealand for sure 😍
Another great video guy's. - your walk to lake Alta was a funny moment, especially in the end when the lake was covered in snow...I feel for you Pete & Yen, but at least you gave it a go.- me, i would have been too lazy to walk - i would have just taken the chair lift. lol. Always enjoy watching your vlogs guy's.
Hahahaha it was a fun experience and in the end we've got a good story to tell people about getting to lake Alta... in terms of toughness probably rate it 7/10 pretty tiring 😅
😍🤩 Hope you guys got home ok or have suitable lockdown accommodation. Kia haumaru 😊
😁 thanks for the concern! We luckily got home a couple of weeks before everything locked down. Just chilling in Auckland now. Hope you n your family are taking care too ❤
Goos job guys. You did well, we not sure if we can make it up there in one piece. Never walk up hill with full of snow yet. The views are stunning, I love seeing snow on top of the mountains. I love pie, my favourite is cheese and bacon, and you making me hungry 😋
Mmmmmm cheese n bacon pie sounds so good. Finished a huge dinner tonight and ended up eating a big block of cheese 🧀 😂 btw it's Peter here yen would never do that 😂
@@PeterandYen 🤣🤣🤣. I love cheese. I was craving for some cheesy so I made cheesy egg omelette and it was the bomb. P.S it's hard to tell who is replying 🤣, this is mine acc and my husband never made comment or like anything on social media not even our own pics . He is a silent stalker 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂🤣 for us it's often me Peter replying CZcams comments but sometimes it's Yen.. just depends who is more free to respond 😆 on our other social platforms it's 99.999% of the time Yen tho hahaha
@@PeterandYen it's good u guys sharing the duties. I do all the social butterfly jobs 🤣
This is not a high 5 moment 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video guys!!
😂 almost left me hanging 😂
@@PeterandYen 😂
Another awesome vlog guys! Mmmmm pie and lamb shanks 2 of my favourite things together 😋. Peter, impressed by your professional pie bite 👌.
Spectacular views. I hope you and your family are safe with the level 4 lockdown and Auckland being hit the hardest. ❤
Hahaha me too! So stoaked to see a lamb shank pie had to get it. Tasted bomb as too 🤤 I've had a lot of work on the pie bite over the years 😂
We're all good back here in Auckland just chilling out with family. Hope you guys are all taking care too ❤
@@PeterandYen ha ha, pie bite training, I love it 😀.
Glad to hear you guys are safe with family ❤. Lockdown interrupted a programme I was running, which is annoying, but my wife and I are safely working from home 🏡 😀.
I am so glad that you guys went to the top of the ski field as I recommended before. If you have gloves and walking poles, it would be much easier. Lake Alta looked very different a week after you visited. I skied to the point close to the lake and saw the ice lake.
Thanks again for the recommendation Hannah 😁🤙ahhhh so bummed we didn't get to see that lake but good to know it is visible at times hahaha
Excellent
😁✌
The name "The Remarkables" made me think of The Incredibles... Like a knock off of the Disney movie😁. You might have mentioned it in a pervious vid, but didn't remember Peter was a little apprehensive of heights...especially because of all the high places you go. View looked like it was worth it. Looked amazing 🏔🏔🏔. Can hear the exhaustion in both of your voices on the hike to the lake... I still think it was a high five moment. Good job🙌🙌🙌 Looks like the food reward at the end made it all worth it. Great job guys! Stay safe and happy travels~
I'm a bit apprehensive of heights and water. Can't swim well had a fear after almost drowning as a kid. And heights I dunno they just make my legs jelly. But that aside can't let it stop me enjoying the water in summer or climbing high things. Fear is just a figment of your imagination 😂
This was pretty exhausting. Going up hill on snow a lot more challenging than expected 😅 the pie made it all worth it 👌
great video.
Thanks for watching Gene 🤙
@@PeterandYen you guys make me wanna move to NZ! I actually tested for points, and I passed!😆
O nice 👌 the points system is pretty hard to pass these days so that's a good first step
@@PeterandYen I hope to be able to hangout with you guys one day
Oh yesss Ferg Bakery!! Love it so much especially the pies. It was our first NZ pies we tried too haha. They are amazing.
We also ordered boston cream donut last time, super yum!!! 😍
😁👍 the baker was great, still thinking about those Boston cream donuts from time to time haha
Good and remarkable video guys. It looks freezing cold up there, great views however.
Hahaha yes it was pretty cold up there but sometimes you just have to suck it up and go anyway
Looks so amazing down there. I haven't been down in the south Island but I hope yous doing well cause now being level 4 lockdown. Stay safe 😷 love the vlogs ❤️
Last couple of years has been the best time for a lil South island visit. It's like half the price of usual times 😁 thanks Shayna we're keeping well just chilling at home. Hope you n your family are doing well too ✌
We always watch your videos cause we love travelling too. We got inspired to make vlogs too :) thanks to you lovely couple 🙏 stay safe and happy!
Wow that's so cool, all the best with your videos and hope y'all stay safe too 👍✌
Queenstown was really nice
👌❤🇳🇿
Awesome one guys, always wanted to go there but never got a chance. May be next winter. Mmm those pies, lockdown is making me miss them more 😋
Hahahaha comfort food is a staple during lockdowns. Lucky we are eating very well back in Auckland.
Def check out the top of remarkables if you can it is really amazing 😯
Awesome!! Never been up here though. They close during summer I think 🤔
Was a brilliant trip up there. Might needa go back another time to see the lake 😂
Glad you didn't get frostbite, Peter
😂 well it definitely was not cold enough for that
Those pies look amazing!!! We need to figure out a way to import freshly made Kiwi pies to the US lol.
Hahahaha that's probably a business idea just waiting to happen. But then again the US has so much other great food already 🤔
@@PeterandYen Lol never hurts to add more good food.
😂 💯 facts
same day with guys to there, saw my daughter and my wife
😂 such a small world... thanks for watching the video
“This is not a high five moment” 😂😂😂
😂😂 Yen....
I always hate it whenever the ski lift stops since it means I have to stay on it for longer 😅 but as long as I avoid looking down it's pretty manageable haha
Hahaha we were enjoying all the views ever time it stopped since we weren't boarding it wasn't so rushed
Shadow Basin chairlift is more for advanced skiers comparing to the other lifts.
Ooooo I see sounds intense. Some of the areas the skiers were coming down looked so steep
good video
😁👍 thanks Joseph
Fergbaker too, good call!
Oh and Mrs Ferg's for ice cream, although possibly not in winter 🤣
Hahaha I was an ice cream a day kinda person before but unfortunately found out actual allergic to it 😥
@@PeterandYen aww that's so sad 😢
Hopefully you can still have sorbet though? 😊
Yeah but it's not the same the creaminess of ice cream is the special part. Otherwise you're just eating sweet ice 😂
Awww man when you got to the top of Lake Alta! hahahaha, nawwww well, a good hike I suppose?! HAHAHA!
😂😂 good exercise too 💪
First one to comment , how’s everything going , are you staying safe
Nice one being early 👍 we're all good thanks just chilling back at home in Auckland til this all blows over. Hope you're going well too
@@PeterandYen I’m doing fine thanks , doing law school university assignments and catching up on lectures and essays to prepare for the online final exams. I got my first Covid vaccine yesterday, once you get it you actually feel so exhausted but apparently got to wait 48 hours for the symptoms to subside
Great video! Great effort hiking up to see Lake Alto but why the Patrol Staff didn't mention that you can't see the lake during winter and it will be covered by snow? Hahaha...
😅 apparently it was just our luck cause other people in the comments section went there days after us and got to see the lake
Level4 lockdown
haha I feel your height related anxiety Peter, some of your shots are enough to induce vertigo and I'm just watching this lol
😂 Yen has a clip of me driving on the cliff but we decided it wasn't usable cause I looked so nervous... n yes I was so nervous 😂
This is just epic I like Queenstown!!!!As an Aussie, I love New Zealand. I have been to Auckland and Matamata. Btw stay safe in level 4 lockdown.Avoid the situation like Sydney or Melbourne:(
🤞 we will be able to get through this reasonably quickly. Hope things get better for you guys across the ditch too 🙏
be safe on the lockdown
Thanks Dwain ✌
Ahhh no lake?! That’s brutal
😅 it made for an excellent story though so not too bad
What's with the dancer in the background while Yen enjoys her pastry...
😂 there's a couple of buskers in the town centre that are always there. Piano 🎹 man, 🐕 dog song man and dancing man 🕺
6:31 on repeat 😂😂😂
Been there too feel for the poor fella 😅
The cost of hire items were for locals? Or do tourists have to pay more?
It's the same price for everyone 🤙
What cam are using?
Hello 👋 we use a Fujifilm XT4
There are better places than this to visit. Far cheaper and better views.
