Visitor Reviews

**★★★★★ Cristiano Nitz — 3 weeks ago

This trail feels like stepping into a postcard. The climb wakes your legs, but each turn rewards you with views that steal your breath faster than the hike itself. Sunrise here feels like the world’s quiet reset button.

**★★★★★ Anastasia Auld — a month ago

Love this hike! My glutes feel it the day after. The last 30% of the hike is quite steep but not dangerous

**★★★★★ Aviah Shochetman — 5 months ago

Just above the city center, about 2.5 km away, but with an elevation gain of about 400 m. A trail mostly in the forest until you reach the summit with a breathtaking view. I recommend continuing on the path for another 400 meters and turning right to reach a rock that overlooks the eastern side for a mesmerizing sunrise.

**★★★★★ A. Moe — 6 months ago

We loved this beautiful track. It’s mostly uphill, so pace yourself and enjoy a slow, steady climb. Along the way, there are a few perfect spots to stop, catch your breath, and snap some great photos. The scenery is full of lush trees and peaceful nature, making the walk as relaxing as it is rewarding. We really enjoyed it and would come back to do it again. You can also bring something cute to put alongside other fairies.

**★★★★☆ Grace Balabo — 3 months ago

Nice track, fabulous views, easy access and parking not like other ones which need a stronger car. It's just by the city center. You can see the whole Queenstown on the top of the hill. Need to go all the way up and go all the way down. Just reminding that dogs are not allowed in case someone needs.
