Although the proposed port on the West Coast never came to fruition, the Routeburn Track became internationally famous as a magnificent scenic alpine adventure. The Grand Traverse Accommodation Both the Routeburn and Grand Traverse have comfortable private mountain lodges, exclusively for your use. Our guides are well versed in the flora, fauna, geology and history of the area. The safety of our walkers is paramount. The decisions of your guides must be adhered to.
Guides carry first aid equipment, and also hand held radios, for communication with our base.
Food Excellent three course meals are served with house wine each evening, hearty breakfast each morning and you carry your picnic lunch with you. If you have any allergies, or are a vegetarian, please notify us prior to your departure. You are welcome to bring your own liquid refreshments if you are happy to carry them. The surface of the track varies from well formed surfaces to some areas of rough terrain, e.g. over rocks and tree roots. We recommend you wear walking boots with good ankle support.
