What is an Alpine Hike?
Alpine hikes take you into remote country among high peaks . It is a beautiful, simple and high world with a special silence and magic to it.
These multi-day hikes are often in somewhat challenging backcountry areas where a high level of fitness is required. However, there are some less strenuous hikes that can also be family orientated. These hiking and camping trips allow all of the family to ‘unplug and reconnect’.
Accommodation is either camping or in backcountry huts so while there are no hot showers on these hikes you will be rewarded with a truly remote experience, spectacular scenery and a real sense of achievement.
Note: Alpine hikes may involve hazardous terrain and the need to manage inherent risk. As such operators are required to be registered under the Adventure Activities Regulations. Hiking New Zealand undertakes to ensure the operators of Alpine Hikes are registered to provide them or are exempt from the requirements to be registered.
