Rob Roy Glacier Track (Rob Roy Track)

Nestled in the Wanaka region, the Rob Roy Glacier Track offers a half-day adventure through the stunning wilderness of Mt. Aspiring National Park. The trail winds past waterfalls, streams, and fern-laden valleys, leading to views of glaciers clinging to the mountains. At an elevation of just 2,000 feet, the track still provides an alpine experience, with snow-streaked ridgelines and creaking glaciers at the edge of the tree line. Visitors can cross over streams on swaying footbridges, trek along crystal-clear streams, and enjoy a picnic at the end of the trail while watching chunks of the Rob Roy Glacier fall into the valley below. For those seeking a guided experience, local backcountry tours are available.
