Routeburn Track

The Routeburn Track traverses wild and scenic mountain country between the Hollyford and Dart Valleys at the base of New Zealand's Southern Alps near Queenstown.

Since the 1880s the Routeburn Track has proved to be one of the most accessible and popular journeys into New Zealand's forests and mountains.

The Routeburn Track passes through two national parks, Fiordland and Mount Aspiring, and is part of Te Wahipounamu, South West New Zealand World Heritage Area. Native birdlife abound, and a variety of landscapes will astound: mountainous peaks, sheer rock faces, alpine basins, pristine lakes, cascading waterfalls, luxuriant forest, turquoise rivers and million dollar views around every corner.

The Routeburn Track Guided Walk is a 3 day / 2 night Queenstown to Queenstown all-inclusive guided walk traversing New Zealand's Southern Alps. All your transport, accommodation, and meals are catered for, and snacks, backpacks and rain jackets will also be provided. Accommodation is in luxury lodges and you will be led by expert guides.

It can also be experienced as a guided day hike accessible from Queenstown - you start from Glenorchy, at the north-western end of Lake Wakatipu, about 45 minutes drive from Queenstown.
