The Routeburn connects the Routeburn Shelter near Glenorchy with The Divide on the Milford Road. Its trailheads are far apart by road, so organise transport before starting.
Before you go
- Book huts and campsites for the Great Walks season.
- Outside the Great Walks season, alpine experience and equipment are needed. Check DOC’s seasonal guidance and bookings.
