Matukituki Valley and Mt Aspiring/Tititea

A Maverick Traveller: The Podcasts of Mary Jane Walker

The Matukituki Valley, west of Lake Wānaka, is a must-visit for anyone in the Queenstown region of the South Island of New Zealand.

"We began our tramp into the Matukituki Valley, which is common up to a point where it branches into the East and West Matukituki Valleys, from the Raspberry Creek Carpark, an hour’s drive up from Wānaka and a short distance into the West Matukituki Valley. It was an incredible drive, too, up a half-unsealed road with Rob Roy Peak and Mt Aspiring on the right, and another set of mountain ranges to the left which include the Treble Cone skifield, near the entrance to the valley system. The road is sealed as far as the turnoff to Treble Cone, and unsealed thereafter."
