Mabey Ski Launches Exclusive New Southern Hemisphere Heliski Adventure
New Zealand and Japan ski specialist, Mabey Ski, has launched a new holiday that combines the ultimate Southern Hemisphere ski adventure in New Zealand’s newest 5* chalet property – Chalet New Zermatt.
- Brand new 5* chalet property overlooking Lake Wakatipu – being hailed as the country’s top ski chalet
- Combine resort skiing with heliski charters and heli-excursions to remote South Island locations
- Gourmet food and exclusive wine tasting experiences
The chalet can take up to eight guests in four bedrooms and the holiday costs NZ$264,000 (around £130,000 or £16,000 per person), on a full-board basis with a private chef and including all the activities and excursions with private use of a helicopter throughout the week.
It’s billed as the ultimate Southern Hemisphere luxury ski trip at what is the most talked about new property at the lakeside destination of Queenstown – New Zealand’s adventure capital and home to some of the best restaurants, shopping and nightlife in the country.
Founder of Mabey Ski, Nickie Mabey, said: “I’m really excited to be able to share this one-of-a-kind itinerary with our guests, which was inspired by my most memorable and truly mind-blowing experiences in New Zealand, offering a blend of luxury and thrill-seeking adventure that begins with a jet boat transfer from the airport to Chalet New Zermatt – New Zealand’s newest chalet. Whilst this trip may be full of adrenaline-pumping activities, our guests are also pampered – with ski and snowboard rental fitted in the chalet, a private chef preparing gourmet meals and a Kiwi guide taking care of the rest, they can just soak up the endless vistas of alpine lakes and snow-capped mountain ranges from different perspectives – their bedroom window or even a scenic flight to a world-class winery. With access to more than 850,000 hectares of heliski terrain, there’s no shortage of fresh tracks to be had too”.
Dates: Mid-July through to mid-September 2020. Price: NZ$264,000 (around £130,000) for up to eight persons, including; eight nights at the Chalet New Zermatt on a full-board basis with a private chef, welcome drinks, jet boat transfers, ski or snowboard hire, lift passes, local guide, private transfers, two days of chartered heli-skiing, several gourmet lunches accessed by helicopter, Fjordland trip by helicopter, private boat trip on Dusky Sound, private helicopter to vineyard and wine tasting with the winemaker.
