Alps 2 Ocean Cycle TrailThe Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail is a 316km journey from the Southern Alps to the Pacific Ocean. This is New Zealand - in all its splendor and beauty - from the highest mountain, past great lakes and rivers to the ocean. , the 9 section Trail is an easy to intermediate graded ride, offering a pleasing mix of on and off-road trails. Allow 5-7 days for the entire ride, or simply try out a day excursion. Amidst the grandeur of braided rivers, glacier-carved valleys, turquoise hydro-lakes, tussock highlands and rural plains, are a host of tantalising off-the-bike activities including wine-tasting, penguin-spotting, or simply quietly soaking in alfresco hot tubs. It's no wonder people have come from all over the world to enjoy the Trail's stunning vistas, wide open spaces and expansive landscapes. The Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail is internationally recognised and a great way to experience the diversity of the South Island. Not just for cyclists, the Trail is for walkers and runners too...Read more
