    Avalanche Peak is the only peak in Arthur's Pass that is marked by a poled route to the summit. The climb is 1,100 m vertical from the village (over just 2.5 km horizontal), and on a fine day, you will be rewarded with grand views of the surrounding peaks.

      The climb is short but steep. The view of the surrounding glaciers is worth every meter of altitude and sweat.

        The Avalanche Peak is 1833m high and can be reached in about 3 hours from the parking lot. The climb is very steep with small climbing passages.
