one of New Zealand’s Great Walks, beginning at The Divide on the Milford Road. Your guided walk follows the start of the track as it climbs steadily through beautiful native beech forest, with mossy woodland, mountain streams and glimpses of the surrounding alpine landscape before reaching the Key Summit turn-off.
A highlight of the Routeburn Track and one of Fiordland’s most rewarding short alpine walks. Starting from The Divide, the track climbs steadily through native beech forest before opening out into alpine herb fields, wetlands and tarns. From the top, enjoy wide views across the Hollyford Valley, Lake Marian area, the Darran Mountains and surrounding Fiordland peaks.

About Te Anau
Te Anau is a small lakeside town in New Zealand's Fiordland, the gateway to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and some of the country's finest walking tracks.
Te Anau sits on the eastern shore of Lake Te Anau, the largest lake in the South Island, on the edge of Fiordland National Park. Snow-capped mountains rise across the water and dense beech forest covers the slopes, and the park is part of the Te Wāhipounamu World Heritage area. The town is small, with a lakefront path and a wildlife centre where takahē, a rare flightless bird rediscovered in the nearby mountains in 1948, are kept.
