Cross-country Ski Touring from the hut door. 🎿

Cruising up Camp Stream, across Mt Gerald and along Snake Ridge, with endless views across Lake Tekapo and the Southern Alps. Plenty of time to slow down, look around and soak it all in.

Then back to the warmth and rustic comforts of Rex Simpson Hut.

Remote backcountry. Big skies. No crowds. A touch of comfort.

NZ backcountry at its best. 🏔️❄️
