Season and passes

The bike uplift runs from late September to mid-May and is closed June to August. The minimum age is 5, and passes include a single day (six uplifts), multi-day and season passes. Bikes are attached to the gondola cabins, and the terms set rules for bike assembly and wheel fastening.

E-bikes

Skyline's official pages and uplift terms do not mention e-bikes, so we can't confirm whether eMTBs may ride the gondola or the bike park trails. Contact Skyline before you go (+64 3 441 0101, queenstown@skyline.co.nz).
