Rob Roy Glacier Walk

Rob Roy Glacier Walk

The Rob Roy Glacier Track is closed.

Due to the closure of the track's bridge access to the glacier is not available. The bridge needs to be assessed for safety and is expected to be repaired in the 23/24 summer.


A diverse 10 km, 3-4 hours return track, starting in easy open farmlands leading into a dramatic alpine landscapes that include snowfields, glaciers, sheer rock cliffs and waterfalls. Incredible views of Rob Roy Glacier at the end of the track. Sit and listen to the movement of the ice that echoes throughout the valley.


The track begins at the raspberry Creek car park, 54 km west of Wānaka on the Wānaka-Mount Aspiring Road. The last 30 km are unsealed, the last 10 km is a fine weather road only with potential for washouts and flooded creeks that can be impassible in poor weather.


This track restricted to the lower lookout when avalanche danger is present (May-November).


No dogs or bikes.
