Nordic ski touring in the Two Thumb Range last week ☀️🎿

Cruising sun-softened slopes high above Lake Tekapo, with endless views stretching across the lake and the Southern Alps. The perfect combination of relaxed skiing, big mountain scenery and time to simply soak it all in.

Then back to the comforts of Rex Simpson Hut — fire crackling, skis by the door and a delicious cooked dinner prepared by the guides. 🔥🍲

This is what Nordic ski touring is all about: moving through beautiful landscapes at your own pace, with a cosy hut to come home to.
