Routeburn Track tourist information
The Routeburn track is a tramping (hiking) track situated in the Fiordland and Mt Aspiring national parks, in the South Island of New Zealand.
Its origins are in historical maori walking tracks used to walk between locales.
The Routeburn track is 32km long. Entry to the track is at approximately 200m altitude, and the highest point is approximately 1255m at the Harris Saddle.
The track may be walked in either direction: either from The Divide to Routeburn Shelter, or vice-versa. The ends of the track are some 350km from each other due to the very large mountain range the track traverses.
The track features ranger-occupied accomodation during peak summer months. These must be booked in advance through the Department of Conservation.
