Tongariro Alpine Crossing
Traverse the World Heritage-listed Tongariro National Park on an 18.5-kilometre alpine journey through some of New Zealand’s most dramatic volcanic scenery. The route climbs the Mangatepopo Valley toward Red Crater before dropping to the vivid Emerald Lakes and continuing across an exposed, otherworldly landscape. With seven to nine hours on foot, the crossing rewards the effort with sweeping views and a true sense of the North Island’s volcanic power.
Ice axes and crampons are required from June 1 through October 15. Sturdy boots and weather-appropriate layers are essential.
