Highlights
Experience a full-day guided walk on one of New Zealand's premier Great Walks - the Routeburn track, including Key Summit. Tour departs from Te Anau, with a drive along the Milford Road to the trail head. Ascend through lush forest and into a unique alpine herb field offering panoramic views, this walk offers an incredible day out in the heart of New Zealand’s Southern Alps.
Itinerary
Key Summit
Your trip departs from Te Anau and takes around 1.5 - 2 hours travelling in a vehicle, with short scenic stops, to arrive at Fiordland’s mountain "divide" - between east and west. Here the walk begins at the Divide Shelter with a steady climb on a well maintained track. Gaining an elevation of 400 meters, the ascent takes approximately 2 hours at a leisurely pace. On a fine day lunch is had on Key Summit, and in unfavorable conditions in a nearby shelter. After lunch you will descend back to the Divide Shelter before returning to Te Anau. You will spend approximately 5 hours walking based on your ability but you should be prepared for at least 4 hours walking at a leisurely pace with some hill climbing. This walk is rated 'moderate' as some fitness is required for the hill climb and potential for challenging weather conditions on occasion.
