At the head of Lake Wakatipu and a spectacular 45 minute drive from Queenstown along one of the world’s most scenic routes, is Glenorchy. A small, rustic frontier village in the heart of the Westland World Heritage National Park, Glenorchy is known as the Gateway to Paradise and the famous Routeburn, Greenstone, Caples, Rees and Dart Valley walking tracks.
It may be impossible to eliminate all the stress and tension in a single trip, but people do visit to unwind, soak up the tranquillity and replenish the soul.
The magnificence of snow capped towering mountains skirted by ancient beech forests, sheer rock faces and glacial fed rivers is constantly awe inspiring, creating a challenging playground for all out door enthusiasts, a popular haven for fishing and hunting, or exploration at a gentle pace on guided wilderness tours.
