It is always a good idea to check the road conditions before you leave Te Anau, the last town before Milford Sound. Information centres and petrol stations have information on road conditions, road closures and snow chain requirements.
As the Milford Highway is a very remote, and in some places narrow, road we suggest you take at all times during your drive to Milford Sound. Please obey all signs placed by road workers; they are placed for everyone’s safety.
