From the parking you follow the way up. Beautiful views all the way, the more spectacular the higher you get.

Wanaka is surrounded by many great mountains to hike. The most famous is Roys Peak but there are many other like Isthmus Peak, Treble Cone, Mount Iron or Mount Alpha. Rocky Mountain is not one of the highest but it is o...
We started hiking at 3:40 am to get to the top at dawn. The start is already challenging, and there are almost no flat zones in the whole track at all. Really hard to get to the viewpoint, we were able to get there just...
The Roys Peak track is an official track from the Department Of Conservation in New Zealand. This track follows the official Roys Peak track all the way to the top of Roys Peak and then it continues for another 2.4 Ki...

Great hike with awesome views along the way. Will be tough for inexperienced Hikers. Very crowded with lots of people. Carry plenty of water as you will be exposed to the hot Sun on a clear day. Alow 6+hrs, we completed ...
Better views than Mt Iron but also tougher. If you want a moderate option, go up and down the east way. The difficult part is the path on the west. from http://www.nzfrenzy.com , best NZ guidebook
A very steep track with astonishing views of the Lake Wanaka at the summit. Very demanding but reconforting. Take it easy!!! (09-01-2019).
We arrived before 9am in the morning but the carpark has been 90% full. We found out some people started the walk at 3am to watch the sun rise. It took me three hours to reach the summit and two and half hour back to rhe...
Nice hike to the top of Rocky Mountain. At the top there is a 360° view of the valley. The last parts (east and west) were very muddy and wet but it was worth it!
A superb walk along the west shore of Lake Wanaka with stunning views to snow capped mountains all around. A mixture of footpath and 4 wheel drive track. Superb!
go early otherwise the valley will be in the shade, for pictures see my other recording of the track from summer. Many fordings necessary to get to the parking, go slow, seen very small cars do it.
Track where we can see one of the most famous natural spots in New Zealand. The walk is long and steep, but the path is not difficult, it gets more narrow just before reaching the summit. The weather changes a lot from...
Short version of the Minaret Burn track. We walked slowly because picture stops every 5minutes. Majestic views all the way.
Matukituki valley is beautiful all the way. the climb to Liverpool stress full and the way down nerve-wracking. Time is with breaks. The way down 2K took 3 hours
The trail is very well maintained with some stairs and easy for any age from the Car park to the Wanaka Lake viewpoint. From there to the Rocky Peak East side there are a few difficult places with some rocks to climb. I...
This trail doesn’t reach Roys Peak summit, you have to add 1,5km one way to the summit. The path is well maintained, wide and with panoramic views all the way. No shadow. Really steep: 1000m in 6kms. Toilet at the car p...
An enchanting walk to the base of Rob Roy glacier. Includes inspiring views all around, a walk up a river valley and a stream crossing on a suspension bridge. The first part is on a gravel road then on footpath.
Beautiful hike! Be aware that the way there can be challenging as you have to pass some waterstreams. We parked at a certain point with our normal car. But must say kost people continued to parking area
The climb is very much as described on the NZDOC site. It’s a steady climb and quite challenging by anyone’s standards! We are slow walkers and past our best(!) so it took us 4 hours to do the ascent and 2.75 to descend....
Row Track. The West Matukituki valley has several very enjoyable day walks, plus a choice of a number of more demanding tramping and climbing routes in Mount Aspiring National Park. The stunning mountain scenery is...
Return. Only marked as difficult because of the relentless climb! But an easy track if you take your time.
- Diamond Lake é uma trilha que sobe abruptamente em uma pista bem formada até uma plataforma de observação acima do lago. - Daqui há duas opções: - Um circuito de nível inferior que leva no ponto de vista do Lago Wana...
Amazing hike through the valley, passes Aspiring hut and then the very steep hike up to French Ridge hut. Beautiful! But the final 3km are very though!
