Off the Beaten Path

Meet your tour guide at Te Anau, and travel in a small group to Fiordland's mountain divide by vehicle. The trail and your walk begins at the Divide Shelter in the National Park. Ascend at a leisurely pace. At some point, you will emerge from the forest into the alpine environment, with panoramic views of high snowy peaks, alpine lakes, and deep, shrub-clad, glacial valleys.

Picnic at the Summit

When you reach the summit, survey the topography of the Fiordline before settling down for lunch. The weather will decide if the meal is open air or within a camping shelter. If time allows, you can then hike further down the Greenstone Valley before returning back to the Divide Shelter.
