The Grand Traverse of the Remarkables is an iconic, classic single day adventure, with awesome views and knife edge exposure. Arguably one of the finest single day alpine adventures in New Zealand!
The Remarkables Mountains tower over Queenstown and the Grand Traverse takes in the three highest peaks – Double and Single Cones – along the spine of the mountain range.
WHO IS THIS FOR:
- Summer: The Grand Traverse is suitable for those with some previous rock climbing and/or mountaineering experience or extensive hiking experience. Discuss your experience with us when you book, and you might be surprised! We can also add an additional training day to get you ready. Allow 8-10 hours.
- Winter: Winter conditions mean that the full Grand Traverse can be difficult to achieve. Please contact us to discuss your experience and current conditions. A winter traverse requires better clothing, warmer boots, and excellent fitness. You will need to have experience using an ice axe, crampons and on exposed, steep terrain. Allow 10-14 hours.

PRICES
The Grand Traverse is a long and committing one day traverse. We may ask to see a logbook of your experience, do an evening session working on some key skills needed for the day, or a day of training up on the mountain prior to your climb.
In summer conditions we cannot guarantee being able to guide this at a 1:2 ratio – this very much depends on your experience, as well as the weather and conditions. In winter conditions we only guide this trip at a 1:1 ratio. Single Cone is a brilliant introduction to mountaineering if you do not have much alpine experience.
