Climbing more than 400 meters up Bob's Peak in under five minutes, the Skyline Gondola delivers sweeping views over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables from its summit terminal, which also serves as the base for luge rides, mountain biking trails, and a paragliding launch point.

Know before you go

  • Buy combo tickets that bundle the gondola ride with luge rides for better value.
  • Time your ride for late afternoon to catch sunset light over the lake from the summit deck.
  • The summit restaurant offers a buffet with a view — book ahead in peak season.
