Story

Der 1929 gegründete Arthur’s-Pass-Nationalpark ist ein Nationalpark im nördlichen Zentrum von Neuseelands Südinsel. Er umfasst ein 1.145 km² großes Areal in den Neuseeländischen Alpen. Die Höhenlage reicht bis ~2400 m. Der Park liegt an der historischen Route von Canterbury zur Westküste und wird heute von der Fernstraße State Highway 73 durchquert, die über den Namen gebenden 920 m hohen Arthur’s Pass führt.
Das Landschaft des Parks ist geprägt von Hochgebirge, Bergflüssen und tiefen Schluchten. Sie zeigt deutlich die Spuren, die die riesigen Gletscher während der letzten Eiszeit in ihr hinterlassen haben. Zu beiden Seiten des Hauptkammes der Neuseeländischen Alpen finden sich sehr unterschiedliche Lebensräume. Während die Wälder auf der Ostseite fast ausschließlich aus Buchen bestehen, herrscht auf der Westseite Mischwald vor. Oberhalb der Baumgrenze findet man eine alpine Vegetation vor. Die Neuseeländischen Alpen bilden im Park eine Klimagrenze: während in Otira auf der Westseite der Berge pro Jahr etwa 5000 mm Niederschlag fallen sind es in Bealey auf der Ostseite „nur“ etwa 1500 mm.

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
