Weather Information & Safety Tips

It is essential to be well prepared when tramping. New Zealand has very changeable weather patterns. Fiordland and Mt Aspiring National Parks have high rainfall levels and weather can change dramatically in less than a day!

The unpredictable nature of the weather in this region, means that snow, high winds, and rain, can occur at anytime of the year. It is therefore very important to be prepared for the worst weather conditions, and carry the appropriate clothing.

Exposure and hypothermia can affect anyone when the weather is wet, cold and windy. So go prepared! Click HERE for a current New Zealand weather forecast.
