Tongariro Alphine Crossing

Recreation
1 hr
Considered New Zealand’s Great one day walk. The Alpine Crossing is one of the major summer hiking attractions of the Area. The full day one way hike over the Saddle between Mt Tongariro and Mt Ngauruhoe has a high elevation of 1,900 metres and is an excellent team building experience when using professional guides to educate about the Tongariro National Park Maori Culture. The hike is weather dependant due to the extreme alpine conditions – but excellent alternate options are available if weather prevents you from walking the Alpine Crossing.
