About
The Routeburn Track serves up a smorgasbord of scenery at every peak and turn. Scenery along the Routeburn Track covers all that New Zealand’s remote wilderness areas are famous for. From picturesque rocky rivers and lush forest to immense mountains, glaciers and lakes. From kea flying overhead to the tiniest lichens underfoot. The Fiordland National Park section of the track is lush, green and dense. Then, as you enter Mt Aspiring National Park, the landscape changes as tussocks and schist rock take over.
The transition between the two parks happens quickly and is what makes the Routeburn such a fascinating experience.
