Wanaka in Spring - October to December

The snow melts and  vibrant new life takes place around the Lake Wanaka countryside.

With the melting snow, vibrant new life takes place around the Lake Wanaka countryside.

Clean alpine air stirs newborn animals and wild flowers colour the landscape.

Skis and snowboards make way for mountain bikes and athletes jogging country roads and mountain tracks.

Anglers check their tackle bags as the new fishing season approaches in the lakes and rivers of the region as high country creeks fill with melting snow.

Scenic flights over the alpine region allow visitors to capture on film pristine splendour, while tandem sky-diving gives an exhilarating perspective of the landscape.

More relaxing pursuits include strolling along lake and river edge, exploring the many delightful walks, all within easy distance of Wanaka.

Alpine tracks, passes and huts are surveyed by the Department of Conservation in readiness for the tramping fraternity - eager to take on nature's challenge in Mount Aspiring National Park after the winter, while some of the best and most experienced mountain guides in the world prepare to guide groups and individuals up some of the most majestic peaks in New Zealand.
