Lake Wanaka offers some of the best hiking in New Zealand, from relaxing local walks to single and multi-day hikes in Mt Aspiring National Park, part of the World Heritage Area with its striking landforms, from soaring mountains and pristine glaciers to tranquil river flats. There's no better way to capture the majesty of the region than from the air,

whether it's on a scenic flight or an adrenaline-pumping tandem skydive. The thrilling sense of freedom continues on the ground with some of New Zealand's most memorable mountain biking, from family-friendly off-road trails by the lake and rivers, heli-biking or exhilarating single track through the forests. In winter, thousands flock to Lake Wanaka because of its proximity to six world-class ski areas and the largest heliskiing area outside North America.

Lake Wanaka's spectacular backdrop adds a unique dimension to any event and Lake Wanaka is home to some of the best in the world at every time of year – sports, arts, aviation, music, film – all set against breathtaking alpine environment.
