This is the third largest park in New Zealand, it stretches from the dense rainforests of Fiordland, across braided river valleys and alpine meadows, to the heavily glaciated Southern Alps and the Lake Wanaka township provides some of the easiest access to the entire park.

Set within the Te Wahipounamu South West New Zealand World Heritage Area, this is one of the most spectacular pristine wilderness areas anywhere in the world.

The pinnacle of the park is Mt Aspiring (Tititea is the Maori name), rising elegantly from its flanking glaciers to 3027m, a peak much loved by local and international climbers, and photographers.

You don’t have to be a mountaineer to enjoy the delights of the park (although any one of a dozen world-class local guides can accompany you to the top).

Many gentle walking tracks meander through its open valleys or you can fly overhead and gaze down on golden river flats, forested ridges and spilling glaciers.
