沿着蒂阿拉罗瓦徒步,体验整个新西兰的多样性 — 在这条长径上,可以欣赏壮丽景致,从海岸线、火山和森林到城市,无限风光尽收眼底。
从北岛的最北端到最南端的悬崖,Te Araroa(opens in new window)小径贯穿了新西兰奥特亚罗瓦的全境,提供了世界上最具多样性的长途徒步旅行之一。
这条路线展示了该国独特的自然美景和城市中心的繁华多样性。每年大约有两千名徒步旅行者完成这段旅程,但更多的人完成了其中的部分路段,无论是作为一个目标本身,还是作为逐步完成小径的一部分承诺。
要一次性走完这条小径,通常需要四个月的时间,徒步旅行者至少需要有中等水平的体能,并具备野外徒步旅行经验,包括导航、过河和基本生存技能。
When it comes to walking Te Araroa, good planning is key. Hikers must register in advance, so they receive support and guidance, up-to-date information, and exclusive benefits from trail partners.
The trail is best tackled north to south, beginning from the top of the North Island at Cape Reinga in late spring. The traverse of the South Island then falls in mid-to-late summer, when the mountain passes are clear of snow and river levels are low. Some of the lowland and urban sections of the trail are safe to walk throughout the year; however, if you are intending to do the entire walk, it is recommended that you keep within the walking window of November to May.
