Story

Arthur's Pass nationalpark är en nationalpark på Sydön i Nya Zeeland som ligger i Sydalperna i regionen Canterbury. Parken inrättades år 1929 som den tredje nationalparken i Nya Zeeland och den första på Sydön. Dess yta är 1 145 kvadratkilometer.Naturen i parken består av skogar, bergsområden, floder och dalgångar och innehåller så varierande biotoper som tempererad regnskog och alpina ängar. Växtlivet och djurlivet är som en följd av detta också mycket varierat, med bland annat fågelarter som kea, kiwi och tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae).Genom bergen leder många pass, varav det mest berömda är Arthur's Pass. Detta ligger på en höjd av 920 meter över havet och är uppkallat efter Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson, som var den förste europé som ledde en expedition över passet år 1864.År 1865 påbörjades ett vägbygge genom Arthur's Pass, där tusen man arbetade under drygt ett år med yxor, hackor, spadar, skottkärror och sprängämnen för att bygga den fem kilometer långa vägen genom passet. Senare påbörjades även byggandet av en järnvägstunnel, Otiratunneln, vilken när den stod klar år 1923 var den längsta järnvägstunneln i det brittiska imperiet. 1998 påbörjades bygget av Otiraviadukten, eftersom den gamla vägen genom passet ofta är riskfylld att färdas på. Otiraviadukten var klar i november år 1999 och betraktas som ett av de största vägbyggena i Nya Zeeland.

The best way to start 2022. We covered most of the tracks around Arthur's pass. Definitely satisfied my desire to see waterfalls, they are everywhere. Relatively easy to moderate walks that was suitable for our 13 year old daughter. Crossing bridges, water streams enjoying the fawn and flora was soul satisfying. Ample car parks, clean toilets and friendly i centre staff.
Dramatic views in a peaceful setting. We drove a few hours from Timaru to visit Arthur's Pass on a crisp, cool autumn day. There were only a few other hikers at the park as we arrived fairly early. The hiking was easy to moderate with a few steady grades but nothing too intense. Dress warm for visits during the cooler seasons because the towering mountains and heavy vegetation makes for little sunlight poking through to warm you up.
Fantastic destination, for walks, treks, tramps and for meeting fabulous friendly people! Did various day hikes ranging from easy to complex, the information centre is really helpful for getting the lowdown on them, and also the weather. Loved watching and listening to the kea : was also super grateful to locals who let me hitch rides with them to and from the village, thanks!
We did the waterfall route. Easy 15min hike up and 15min hike down. Nice waterfall and phototaking spot. The views at the bottom was also really amazing with the mountain range in the background and the water stream
A good small hike, the stairs are deceivingly hard but manageable. The waterfall was beautiful and you get a good view from the platform. A lovely nature walk
Amazing picturesque drive through New Zealand. Plenty of vistas and walks along the way.
Beautiful area. It doesn’t have the initial oomph and grandeur of Mount Cook but driving along the river with the mountain ranges in the distance is quite a treat. Lots of short walks to start off with ending in either waterfalls or rivers and walking under a lovely beech forest festooned with green moss. If fit enough, it’s a must to climb to Avalanche peak and get 360 degree views.
This National park is excellent and I defintely recommend to stop by it for at least a day trip if you don't have the time for a multi-day track. The views are quite simply spectacular, and chances are, you will meet a cheeky Kea, who will try to take something from you. I happened to see both a camera and a chocolate bar being taken, what will you see?
Definitely worth to spend at least a day over there. Some nice hike and walk. Did the avalanche peak hike and devil punchbowl fall in the same day. Worth it. And probably stop in one of the cafe before to leave.
Loved the national park! It really feels like you're in the wilderness. The town centre is as big as one tiny street, so you're not surrounded with crowds, but with like minded people who wanna take in the clean air, mountains and gorgeous views. I would have happily spent a week there discovering more tracks, if we had more time. It's a must see place if you're into hiking and wildlife
