The top of the South Island contains a spectacular variety of mountains, stretching from the majestic Kaikoura Ranges in the east, to the scenic gems of Nelson Lakes, the Spenser Mountains, and Kahurangi National Park in the west.
In winter, many snow-clad peaks above 2000 metres in altitude make satisfying ascents, and the summer climber will find enjoyable routes on alpine rock. An extensive network of tracks and huts makes this one of New Zealand's most popular tramping areas and permits easy access to the mountains. Most of the climbs can be achieved in a weekend.
