Start in vibrant Nelson before heading on this lofty tour along the spine of NZ's Southern
Alps. Drive to St Arnaud, gateway to Nelson Lakes National Park , where the Lake An-
gelus Track climbs up Robert Ridge for panoramic views of the Southern Alps.
Wend your way through the wild Buller Gorge to the West Coast and take in Punakaiki's
Pancake Rocks, before heading east to Arthur's Pass National Park . Tackle your first
mountain saddle, either Goat Pass or Cass-Lagoon Saddles Track. Top this off with one of
the country's best day walk, Avalanche Peak. Through the pass, stick close to the mountains
on the Inland Scenic Route through to Tekapo and Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park , where
you can climb to Mueller Hut for views of NZ's highest mountain.
