 Lake
Wanaka
is a
place
to
take
a
deep
breath
and
relax.
Protected
from
the
outside
world
by
the
grandeur
of
the
mountains,
you’re
enclosed
in a
hidden
paradise. |
|
|
|
Crystal
clear
lake
waters
lap
the
shores
of
Wanaka
town
and
the
feet
of
the
Southern
Alps,
which
are
home
to
winter
ski
fields
and
the
dramatically
alpine
Mount
Aspiring
National
Park. |
|
|
|
Lake
Wanaka
is
New
Zealand's
fourth
largest;
its
clean,
blue
waters
are
an
inland
sea
for
sailors
and
jetboaters
to
explore.
Walking
tracks
and
bridle
trails
wander
the
flats
and
foothills.
In
all
seasons,
outdoor
adventures
beckon. |
|
|
|
The
region’s
fortunes
have
changed
over
the
years.
The
discovery
of
gold
in
the
1870s
inspired
a
rush
of
interest
in
the
area.
As
the
gold
faded
away,
high
country
farming
became
the
main
source
of
employment.
Today,
tourism
is
the
new
gold
- an
endeavour
that
requires
the
environment
to
stay
picture
perfect. |

Lakes
wherever
you
look
Centuries
of
glacial
action
crafted
Lakes
Wanaka
and
Hawea.
Discover
their
scenic
perfection
by
mountain
biking
the
high
trails,
paragliding
over
the
hills,
sightseeing
by
air
or
walking
the
myriad
of
tracks.

Get
high
on
Mount
Aspiring
The
jewel
of
the
region
is
its
highest
point,
Mount
Aspiring
(3,027
metres),
which
nestles
comfortably
in
one
of
the
country’s
largest
national
parks.
Delve
inside
the
park's
boundaries
and
discover
a
rare
world. |

Winter
sports
wonderland
The
Lake
Wanaka
region
is a
complete
winter
sports
destination.
Cardrona
and
Treble
Cone
are
classic
downhill
ski
fields,
heli
skiing
happens
high
in
the
Harris
Mountains
and
there’s
Nordic
skiing
at
the
Snow
Farm. |
