What you can expect

Head out from Queenstown on a half day guided hike to Lake Alta, the alpine lake high in the Remarkables that doubled as a Lord of the Rings filming location. Transport and the ski road access fee are included, so you just meet your guide, ride up into the mountains and set off on foot.

The walk covers about two hours on dirt tracks and uneven ground, rising to the still alpine water of Lake Alta with the peaks of the Remarkables all around. Your guide is a genuine Rings expert and shares the stories behind the scenes filmed here as you go. Time permitting, you will stop at a lookout for photos with authentic licensed replica props. A water bottle and a snack are there if you need them, so all you need to bring is sturdy shoes and a warm layer for the alpine air.
