  • Motatapu Alpine Track — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa
    10/4/2021 Motatapu Alpine Track — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa Motatapu Alpine Track Walking Difculty Hard Length 47.7 km Journey Time 3-4 days Region Otago Sub-Region Queenstown-Lakes District Part of Collections Te Araroa - New Zealand's Trail , Te Araroa - South Island Track maintained by Te Araroa Trail Trust https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/track/motatapu-alpine-track/pdfPreview 1/5 10/4/2021 Motatapu Alpine Track — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa Walk 2.5km up Motatapu Road from the Wānaka Mount Aspiring Road junction to the Fern Burn Carpark. There is a toilet here, at the start of Motatapu Alpine Track. Foreign owners paid for the construction of this track and the huts en route in accordance with Overseas Investment Ofce conditions of approval of the sale of the Motatapu and Mt Soho Station pastoral leases. The track was opened by Former Prime Minister Helen Clark in 2008. The track is well marked but exposed and follows a demanding line. DOC’s published information on the track warns: Due to the exposed nature of the Motatapu Alpine Track and its physically challenging terrain, it is only suitable for experienced trampers. Several steep sidles require care, and tramping times should be adjusted for those not condent in this type of country. The climate is typically Central Otago. Very hot, dry conditions are common in summer. Carry plenty of water, as water sources are limited, and ensure adequate protection against the sun. Wintry conditions can occur at any time of the year, with the higher country subject to snow, especially during winter.

  • Te Araroa Trail – Northbound Guide
    12/3/2020 Otago | Te Araroa Trail – Northbound Guide Te Araroa Trail – Northbound Guide Otago 3D view west: Queenstown to Roses Hut 15. Queenstown to Arrowtown: 7.5 hrs, 28.5 km (maps 125, 124) This section to Arrowtown follows cycle trails, but there are a number of them, and there is no TA signage. Try and stay on the Queenstown Trail. When you get to Frankton things get a bit confusing, but if you approximately follow the map it will be fine. While here you can take a detour to the shopping complex on the far side of the airport where there is a large New World (and an outdoors store) for resupply (save you carrying more food to this point anyway), but much closer to the trail is a large Countdown supermarket further along to your right, just before Grant Rd. You continue alongside the main road past this supermarket, and a huge Mitre 10 Mega to Glenda Drive. Go right into Glenda Drive and just at a point when you think you are going in the wrong direction turn left into an inconspicuous lane called Margaret Place. Go down here to the Shotover River, and across the old historic bridge (past the new road bridge). Then it is a circuitous but well signposted route to Lake Hayes that follows the river before entering a surreal subdivision known as Hayes Estate. Don’t expect to find any shops (or many signs of life) here. When you reach the main road, cross over and walk a short distance east along it to pick up the track around the lake.
