Walter Peak
- 3 hr – 8 hr return via same track
- Medium
Walter Peak is the prominent peak on the other side of Lake Wakatipu, where the Earnslaw boat goes. There is no track and towards the end it's quite a scramble.
There is no proper track but most of the terrain is easy to navigate - tussocks and rocky outcrops.
For experienced trampers only. The terrain is very steep and towards the end it's more like climbing than tramping.
See photos to get more of an idea.
