8 Reasons Why You Should Visit New Zealand In Winter

Climb Avalanche Peak – Arthur’s Pass NP (7)

This easy to access peak in summer makes it for a very interesting day walk in winter. The views on Mt Rolleston and the Crow Valley are some of my favourite ones in Arthur’s pass. My tip: If you want to make the experience even more interesting, you can start the day by climbing Mt Bealey and join Avalanche peak via Lyell peak (just make sure you start early enough).

Enjoy The Reflections At Lake Matheson – West Coast (8)

This lake is world famous for its reflections. On a quiet day you can see Mt Cook and Mt Tasman reflecting in the lake. If you go there in winter, you will likely have the place to yourself, which would be nearly impossible in summer. My tip: Go there for sunrise to maximise your chances of getting still water and be alone.
