The track is wide and generally smooth today for the 10 mile hike we have in store to reach Pampolona Lodge. You may like to take the short deviation to Prairie Lake for a quick cool down before reaching the lodge.

Today is the most challenging day of your hike, so after your breakfast, we recommend taking it at your own pace. Our 9 mile trek takes us up over the spectacular McKinnon Pass where you can take in the amazing vistas accompanied by a hot drink.

If the weather is kind, we will then take a spectacular flight back over the Southern Alps to Queenstown. The afternoon is yours to explore this town.
