39 glorious years before an attempt that a few jolly men took to celebrate the dawn of winter, has turned in to a massive affair now that sees Queenstown coming alive each year with good cheer and celebration. What were then, races on snow have turned in to exhilarating mountain riding; candy bars that were served back then have developed in to stalls and stalls of gourmet cuisine and the small performances in to fascinating concerts. If you are in Queenstown this June, a not to be missed experience would be the Winter Games 2013, when this beautiful town surrounded by natural splendor comes alive with an exciting celebration, attracting thousands of people to the town.
Surrounded by beautiful mountains on both sides and the Lake Wakatipu that flows through the town, this famous landmark offers truly heavenly scenery as winter dawns. With white slopes and clear blue skies, the view puts a picture postcard to shame. 151 years after the town was born in 1860 as a gold mining camp, it has a sophisticated downtown area surrounded by a picturesque bay.
The breathtaking snow areas cater to any level of a skier and snowboarder from amateurs to veterans. Whether you are a thrill seeker, who cannot resist adrenaline pumping snowboarding down snowy hills, or whether you merely want to relax playing a game of golf or even if you want to indulge in a spa treatment keeping your worries at bay, this beautiful town has it all covered all year around. What better excuse to head over to Queenstown but this amazing festival, when the whole city is abuzz with excitement surrounding the festivities.
If you are on the lookout for a Queenstown Hotel to call your home while you join in the festivities, book in to the Millennium Hotel Queenstown. This luxury hotel Queenstown is a heaven to reside in while you explore this glorious country side and welcome winter in style. With their impeccable service standards and luxurious ambience, it is the perfect place to cuddle up during winter.
