Itinerary description
|
This well-formed and signposted circuit combines Pinchgut Track and Paddy's Track.
Gut Track Pinch
The Pinchgut Track zigzags up the steep, bare face of Pourangahau/Mount Robert on a well-graded track before entering beech forest. After an hour and a half of climbing you reach the edge of the forest, where the forest gives way to alpine grasses and bushes.
From here the track continues along the open top of the ridge until reaching the Relax Refuge. At a junction just after the hut, start Paddy's Track and head east to Bushline Hut, a great place to stop for lunch or spend the night.
To complete the circuit walk, head to Mt Robert Road on Paddy's Track and walk 500m along the road back to the car park.
Paddy's Track
You can start the Mount Robert Circuit along Paddy's Track, which runs across the open face of the mountain and crosses several scree-filled gullies before climbing to Bushline Hut.
To complete the circuit, take the track across the top of the ridge and return to the Mt Robert car park via the Pinchgut track.
