This easy graded walking track is 800 m and takes 15 min return. The track is suitable for wheelchairs and buggies. On a clear day, take in the views of the upper Whakatipu district and Mount Aspiring National Park in the distance. This view is often used to promote New Zealand and the Queenstown region.
