NZ’s highest altitude settlement

Arthur's Pass is a great opportunity to get off the TranzAlpine and stretch legs. And if walking or skiing are your thing, perhaps you should spend longer exploring more of this beautiful mountainous national park with peaks rising more than 2,000 metres.

A mecca for trampers, snow boarders, mountain climbers and nature lovers, there are many short and long walks in the area including those that start near the comfortable accommodation found in Arthur’s Pass village.

Experience the magic of the TranzAlpine, with a journey through the Southern Alps. From just $199 return pp. Conditions apply.

A fantastic trip to Greymouth and back via Arthur’s Pass. The views were amazing, the seats comfortable and the Chicken Curry was excellent.
