ALPINE WALK
"The Routeburn and Greenstone are two of the most superb walking
areas in the world"
Sir Edmund Hillary.
The
Routeburn guided walk can be walked as a three day alpine trek, or
combined with the Greenstone track in a six day Grand Traverse through
the world heritage areas of Fiordland and Mt Aspiring National Parks.
These award-winning treks pass through luxuriant rainforest, pristine
lakes and high alpine pastures before delivering you to comfortable
private lodges. Glimpses of the Kea (native parrot) should encourage
you to keep an eye on all shiny possessions.
Track
surfaces vary from smooth well-formed paths to rough terrain broken
up by tree roots. To enjoy your trek you need to be able to walk
for 4-7 hours over 10-18km each day.
