Itinerario

Embárcate en una extraordinaria aventura por la impresionante Isla Sur de Nueva Zelanda, desde las extensas Llanuras de Canterbury hasta los majestuosos Alpes del Sur. Este viaje ofrece una oportunidad sin igual de explorar la vasta e impresionante cuenca del Mackenzie, sumergiéndote en la serena belleza de sus lagos glaciares y montañas nevadas. Sitúate bajo los flancos del Aoraki/Mount Cook, el pico más alto de Nueva Zelanda, y experimenta de cerca su grandeza. Nuestro recorrido comienza en las Colinas del Puerto, donde cabalgarás con impresionantes vistas del puerto de Lyttelton, de un azul intenso, enclavado en el cráter de un antiguo volcán. Al salir de Christchurch, atravesaremos onduladas tierras de labranza antes de embarcarnos en algunas de las mejores rutas de grava de la región, bordeando las aguas turquesas del lago Tekapo y el lago Pukaki. Una memorable pernoctación en el pueblo de Mount Cook, rodeado de picos alpinos, prepara el terreno para nuestra siguiente etapa hasta el lago Ohau, donde nos esperan más vistas impresionantes de lagos y montañas. Continuando nuestra aventura, seguiremos el río Waitaki hasta la costa, atravesando el extenso "país del gran cielo" de Otago Central. Aquí, recorreremos la emblemática Ruta Ferroviaria Central de Otago, una ruta célebre por su historia pionera y su agradable terreno. Nuestro destino final es la vibrante ciudad de Queenstown, situada junto al impresionante lago Wakatipu. Conocida como la "Capital de la Aventura de Nueva Zelanda", Queenstown ofrece una gran variedad de actividades y es el lugar perfecto para prolongar tu estancia. Esta ruta combina la clásica conducción por grava con tranquilas carreteras asfaltadas, y se dirige tanto a ciclistas de carretera como de montaña. Tanto si eres un experimentado ciclista de montaña como si te inicias en este deporte, esta aventura promete algunas de las mejores rutas de montaña que ofrece Nueva Zelanda, con una belleza natural incomparable como telón de fondo.

Programa del tour

Día 1

Christchurch - Port Hills

Bienvenido a Otautahi Christchurch. Hoy encontraremos nuestras piernas ciclistas con un paseo de calentamiento por las impresionantes colinas de Port, con vistas a la península de Banks. Seguiremos la carretera asfaltada Summit Road, alrededor del borde del cráter de un volcán extinguido, con vistas panorámicas hacia la ciudad, los nevados Alpes del Sur y el azul intenso del puerto de Lyttelton. Pedalearemos hasta Godley Head, donde las reliquias de la batería de defensa de la II Guerra Mundial dominan el océano Pacífico, antes de dirigirnos hacia la ciudad portuaria de Lyttelton. Nuestro recorrido sigue la costa, con muchas subidas cortas y algunas bajadas divertidas entre bahías. Al llegar a Governor's Bay, cargaremos las bicis en el embarcadero y subiremos a la furgoneta para conducir hasta Christchurch y nuestro hotel, donde llegaremos a última hora de la tarde. Tendremos tiempo para explorar el centro de la ciudad antes de reunirnos para nuestra primera cena de grupo por la noche. Estadísticas ciclistas: hasta 52 km, +857 m (100% asfalto) Alojamiento: Hotel Pavilions, Christchurch
Día 2

De Christchurch al lago Tekapo

After breakfast, we load up our gear and drive to the small settlement of Cave on the edge of the Canterbury Plains with a coffee stop at Pleasant Point. This area, New Zealand’s only “flat” land, is wide open country with braided rivers teeming with trout and salmon. The Canterbury Plains are also rich in sheep and dairy farming and today’s ride finds us traveling through a pastoral landscape. Today our ride takes us up the Little Opawa River Valley and over the Waratah Saddle, winding through rolling farmland. We then head towards the tussock covered hills and over the Mackenzie Saddle (785m/2575ft) which cuts through the ranges and gives us our first views of the vast arid Mackenzie Country, where rivers flow through sweeping tussock plains with a backdrop of the snowy alps. We head northwards to meet the main highway at Dog Kennel Corner, a memorial to the importance of sheep dogs, prior to formal fencing of farmland. Here we load up to drive the final 15km along the main road to Tekapo. In early summer this road is lined with lupins creating an incredible splash of colour to the arid landscape. Upon arrival in Lake Tekapo, we take in views of the amazing turquoise water and the Southern Alps from the Church of the Good Shepherd. Dinner at your leisure tonight Cycling Stats: 66km, +1,293m, (76% Gravel)
Día 3

Del lago Tekapo a Aoraki/Mount Cook

Today we join one of New Zealand's Great Rides, the Alps to Ocean cycle trail, starting from Lake Tekapo and following alongside vivid hydro canals to reach a high terrace overlooking Lake Pukaki and the surrounding mountains. The trail then dips down to meet the lakeshore, offering incredible views of Aoraki/Mt Cook. We join an easy flowing trail as we round the bottom of the lake before before crossing the wide-open Pukaki Flats to reach the hydro town of Twizel where our ride ends. After lunch, we load up the bikes and drive into Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park where you will be awed by NZ’s highest peaks. Once we arrive in Mount Cook township, there will be an opportunity to take a walk to see amazing panoramic views. Choose between a climb to the Red Tarns or a shorter walk to Kea Point. You can also visit the Edmund Hilary Museum or the interesting Department of Conservation visitor information centre. Be sure to admire the setting sun on the Southern Alps and take in the vast starry skies after dark. Cycling Stats: 57km, +305m (27% Paved, 73% Gravel)
Día 4

De Aoraki/Mount Cook al Lago Ohau

This morning, we begin with an option of walks including, the Mueller Lake Lookout via the Hooker Valley Track, the Tasman Glacier Viewpoint, or even the Sealey Tarns Track if you are up for a challenge. (The full Hooker Valley Track is closed at the first swing bridge until April 2026. A new second bridge is being installed. You are still able to walk out to the Mueller Lake Lookout before the first bridge.) After retracing our steps, we'll return to the van and transfer to the southern end of Lake Pukaki to continue our journey by bike. This afternoon's ride takes us alongside vivid blue canals towards the beautiful Lake Ohau. Following a fun cycle trail, we'll speed around the lake shore to our lodge accommodation for the night. Relax on the deck with a glass of wine and take in the stunning lake and alpine views. Hiking Distance: Mueller Lake Lookout via Hooker Track: 1.8km/30min; Tasman Glacier Viewpoint : - 3km/45 mins (includes 300 steps); Sealey Tarns Track: 5.3km/3-4hr (2,200 steps 550m elevation gain); Cycling Stats: 41km, +245m (58% Paved, 42% Gravel)
Día 5

Del lago Ohau a Oamaru

Today we head away from the Alps and cycle towards the Pacific Ocean, beginning near the Benmore Dam. Our route takes us along a quiet back road around the picturesque Lake Aviemore, part of the impressive Waitaki Hydro Electric scheme, crossing the dams at either end of the lake. We will rejoin the Alps to Ocean trail through Kurow, where we'll load up and transfer through to the unique formations at Elephant Rocks. Back on the bikes we'll continue on a mix of trail and gravel roads through to the historic Victorian town of Oamaru. Oamaru boasts some of New Zealand's oldest and most beautifully restored buildings, along with a thriving art scene. You can explore the creative Steampunk Museum, visit the Penguin colony (best seen at dusk), and enjoy fresh seafood for dinner. Cycling Stats: Morning ride : 44.3km, +356m (59% Paved, 41% Gravel) Afternoon ride : 46.1km, +464m, (25% Paved 75% Gravel)
Día 6

De Oamaru a Ranfurly

La ruta de hoy nos adentra en el corazón de Otago Central, comenzando con una subida por el Paso de Macraes, que nos recompensa con amplias vistas de las Llanuras de Taieri. Saliendo de la ciudad rural de Palmerston, viajaremos por tierras de cultivo hasta llegar a la mayor mina de oro operativa de Nueva Zelanda y al asentamiento histórico de Macraes, establecido en la década de 1850. Haremos una pausa para almorzar en el histórico Stanley's Hotel antes de que un rápido descenso nos lleve a Hyde, donde nos uniremos al emblemático Central Otago Rail Trail. El suave y llano sendero de grava nos permite avanzar rápidamente hacia Ranfurly, pasando junto a interesantes reliquias ferroviarias, atravesando desfiladeros y cruzando viejos viaductos. ¡Cena esta noche en un típico pub rural kiwi! Estadísticas de ciclismo: 91 km, +1374 m (46% asfalto, 54% grava)
Día 7

De Ranfurly a Queenstown

Nuestro último día celebra la clásica conducción sobre grava mientras seguimos pedaleando por el Sendero Ferroviario de Central Otago. Este fácil sendero nos lleva a través de amplios paisajes abiertos, permitiéndonos descubrir la historia pionera de la región. Mientras pasamos por numerosos viaductos, túneles ferroviarios y trincheras excavadas a mano, admiramos la artesanía de los primeros colonos. Al llegar al punto más alto de la ruta, pedaleamos por el pintoresco valle de Ida y el desfiladero de Pooleburn, para llegar al histórico pueblo de Ophir. El recorrido concluye en Alexandra, donde podemos brindar por nuestros logros ciclistas de la semana en una cafetería local antes de conducir a Queenstown. En Queenstown, nos despediremos y te dejaremos en el centro de la ciudad. Con su espectacular paisaje y multitud de actividades de aventura, merece la pena quedarse uno o dos días más en esta vibrante ciudad. Estadísticas de ciclismo: 84 km, +485 m (100% grava)
