The climb, reaching an elevation of 400 meters, transitions from the dense rainforest to the striking alpine landscape. As you break through the treeline, you are greeted by breathtaking panoramic views encompassing towering snowy peaks, pristine alpine lakes, and deep, bush-clad valleys.

The pinnacle of the hike offers a spectacular lunch spot—on clear days, you’ll dine amidst alpine tarns, surrounded by nature’s splendour. In less favourable weather, shelter is found in a nearby tramping hut, providing a cozy refuge. Following lunch, you will retrace your steps back to the Divide Shelter, carrying with you the tranquillity and beauty of Fiordland as you return to Te Anau.
