Whether you've ventured onto the Milford Track yet?
The Milford Track, a 53.5km hike located within Fiordland National Park, is one of New Zealand's most renowned treks. Designated as a 'Great Walk', its infrastructure is well-developed, providing hikers with a comfortable experience.
Spanning over four days, the Milford Track takes adventurers through diverse landscapes, with the third day bringing hikers to Mackinnon Pass, which marks the entry into an alpine environment. This section of the track is known for its harsher conditions, particularly in exposed areas, making it crucial for hikers to be well-prepared.
To ensure safety during the alpine section of the Milford Track, the Department of Conservation (DOC) in New Zealand has produced a video as part of the Alpine Tramping (Hiking) Series. This video is available to help hikers prepare for the challenges they may face in the alpine environment.
The Milford Track is classified as an Intermediate Level hike, but the alpine section may require additional knowledge and precautions to ensure safety. Local weather conditions should be monitored during the hike, and hikers should be aware of the potential risks associated with the alpine environment.
The Milford Track hike requires following the NZ Land Safety Code, which emphasises the importance of planning, preparing, and acting safely. Sharing personal stories about the Milford Track is encouraged with the hashtags #MakeItHomeNZ and #ShareYourStoryNZ.
So, if you're ready for an adventure, the Milford Track offers a challenging yet rewarding hiking experience. With the right preparation and safety measures in place, you can embark on this incredible journey through New Zealand's stunning Fiordland National Park.
