Tourist attractions

Isthmus Peak Track, Wanaka

Description

A long, steady climb that rewards walkers with spectacular, panoramic views of Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea as well as the mountains of the Southern Alps.

This track is signposted just south of Stewart Creek on SH6. Follow the poled route along the creek until it joins a farm track. From here its a steep, winding, rocky climb to a skyline ridge, with sections where bikers will need to dismount and push. A sign on the ridge points right to the track to 1,385-metre Isthmus Peak, and left, along the exposed ridge to the Matatiaho Conservation Area. Mountain biking permitted.
