Roys Peak is probably the most touristic hiking track in Wanaka, New Zealand. Visitors are attracted by the breathtaking panoramic views over Lake Wanaka and the surrounding snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps. While rarely overcrowded, it is expected to see some groups of people most of the time.<\/span><\/p>

Mount Alpha<\/span><\/a>, on the other hand, often gets ignored or unnoticed most of the time. Yet, it is a wonderful peak that offers next-level scenery compared to the lower Roys Peak. Mount Alpha can be accessed from Roys Peak Track, passing Roys Peak. Adventurous hikers can also walk the full length of <\/span>Skyline Track<\/span><\/a> (7-10 hours one way), starting from <\/span>Roys Peak Track car park<\/span><\/a> to Cardrona Valley Road <\/span>Skyline Ridge car park<\/span><\/a> (you have to sort out your transport).<\/span><\/p>

In this trip, I am doing about half of the Skyline Track, starting from Roys Peak Track parking, to Roys Peaks, then to Mount Alpha, back to Roys Peak and finally back to Roys Peak Track car park. (Time taken: ~7.5 hours return)<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
