New Zealand's third largest national park is a paradise for walkers with its mix of spectacular mountains, glaciers, alpine lakes, and its namesake Tititea-Mt Aspiring, which is an impressive 3033 metres high. Straddling the 'great divide' of the Southern Alps, Mount Aspiring National Park is home to a diverse range of landscapes with varied ecosystems.
There are several entry points into the park. From Wānaka popular day walks include the Aspiring Hut walk (5 hr return) and the Rob Roy track (3 hr return). A great range of short and long walks can also be accessed from Makarora, including the popular 30-minute walk to the Blue Pools. From Queenstown and Glenorchy there are beautiful day walks including one of the most popular Great Walks, the Routeburn Track. In the past, Māori trekked through the region on their way to the pounamu-greenstone fields of the West Coast.
