For lovers of walking and hiking, Queenstown is paradise. This stunning region offers everything from short day hikes to multi-day backcountry adventures.
Surrounded by The Remarkables mountain range and nestled on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown's spectacular environment is best explored on foot. Many day walks leave from the centre of town - try the 3-hour Queenstown Hill Time walk, which leaves from Belfast Street and offers panoramic views at the top. For longer adventures, a guided hike can be a good option. Queenstown borders the stunning Mount Aspiring National Park, and a guide will show you the best tracks in the area and organise a package that suits your needs. It is possible to go for longer walks or hikes unguided as well, as most trails in the region are well-signposted.
