Nelson Lakes Area Travel Guide
Nelson Lakes Area accommodation, Nelson Lakes Area activities and attractions, Nelson Lakes Area maps, transportation to and around Nelson Lakes Area - the Jasons Nelson Lakes Area Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Nelson Lakes Area.
With its snow-capped mountains, clear streams and glacier carved lakes, the
Nelson Lakes area is nothing short of spectacular. On the shores of Lake Rotoiti, the alpine village of
St Arnaud makes a great springboard to the stunning 102,000 hectare
Nelson Lakes National Park, which embraces Lake Rotoiti and Lake Rotoroa, steep mountains and beech-tree forests.
Sculpted by massive glaciers, the
Nelson Lakes area is teeming with activities and outdoor adventures, including fishing, boating, climbing and hiking, or head to the ski area at nearby
Rainbow for some winter fun. Northeast of St Arnaud, you can visit the historic hotel at Tophouse township, or head across to
Murchison at the gateway to the Buller Gorge for a spot of adventure, including fishing, kayaking, rafting, jetboating and goldpanning.
