Overview This 60km loop track begins near Lake Te Anau in Fiordland National Park and is one of New Zealand's nine Great Walks. Its signature feature is a long above-bushline traverse along the Kepler Mountains ridgeline, dropping over 3-4 days through Luxmore Hut (about 1,085m elevation) into the Iris Burn valley. Opened in 1988, it was one of the more recently established Great Walks, and it runs on a pre-booked hut and campsite system.
Highlights A roughly 14km alpine section along Mt Luxmore (1,472m) with views over Lake Te Anau and the Murchison Mountains Free access to Luxmore Cave near the ridge, enterable a short way with a torch Contrasting lowland scenery of Iris Burn Falls and old-growth beech forest A loop route that returns to the starting point, reducing the hassle of arranging one-way transport Good to know Safety The alpine section carries real risk of high wind and hypothermia; DOC advises a lower-elevation detour during storm warnings. Season Outside the Great Walks season (October-April), hut services are reduced and the ridge section can close under snow in winter. Rules Great Walk huts and campsites require advance booking through the DOC website; there is no walk-up ticketing. Β· Most trampers starting from the Kepler Control Gates use a return shuttle bus to reach the loop's start point. On-site reviewsπ Verified on-site Write a review No reviews yet.
