Glenorchy Lagoon Walkway
Glenorchy, New Zealand

The Glenorchy Walkway offers an absorbing change of pace near the northern end of Lake Whakatipu. Boardwalks cross wetlands where birdlife and reflections share attention with views towards Mount Earnslaw and the surrounding ranges. It is a good choice for travellers who want to spend time in the landscape without making an alpine climb the day's main project. Leave room to pause and watch quietly, and let the weather determine how far you explore.
