Christchurch and Canterbury has an Ocean to Alps backdrop – spectacular Pacific coastline, snow-capped mountains to the west and the hidden bays of an ancient volcanic peninsula to the south. The city of Christchurch is rich with beautiful parks and gardens, diverse award-winning eateries and a vast range of visitor attractions.
There are few places in the world where, within two hours of an international airport, you can ski at a world-class alpine resort, golf, bungy jump, go rafting, mountain biking, wind surfing, whale watching and soak in natural thermal pools. You may also enjoy views of Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak.
In autumn, mild weather and a medley of colours welcome visitors to the vineyards and gardens of this region, which is part of New Zealand’s world-renowned “wine capital.” Farmers markets, flower shows and fresh organic produce are special symbols of this season.
When winter arrives, there is no place in the world we would rather be. The Southern Alps are coated in a lush blanket of snow, and the idea of “surf and ski in the same day” comes to life. Christchurch and Canterbury has 13 ski areas – all easily accessible and, best of all, affordable.
