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.
