We particularly adored the falafel wraps and the raspberry squares. How can these be sugar-free!<\/p>\n<p>After luxuriating at your new favourite alpine gourmet breakfast haunt, park your car near the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skyline.co.nz\/queenstown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gondola<\/a> base and enjoy your first taste of the views as you travel up the mountain in your little carriage.

Get ready! You&#8217;re about to experience the most magnificent hike Queenstown has to offer (in my humble hiking opinion!).<\/p>\n<p>Be prepared, though &#8211; it isn&#8217;t easy. We came across three groups of hikers on our ascent warning us that it was &#8220;too snowy&#8221;, &#8220;too hard&#8221; and &#8220;too long&#8221;. But you can do it if you\u2019re prepared and the conditions are right. Conditions are optimal in the summer because if there&#8217;s too much snow you&#8217;ll need heavy-duty hiking equipment (something that I don&#8217;t have lying around!).<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box\"><strong>Related Post:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/new-zealand-things-to-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 Things To Do In New Zealand<\/a><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8660 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-new-zealand-774x1032.jpg\" alt=\"queenstown-new-zealand\" width=\"774\" height=\"1032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-new-zealand-774x1032.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-new-zealand-120x160.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-new-zealand-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-new-zealand.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><!-- Widget Shortcode --><div id=\"enews-ext-5\" class=\"widget-1 widget-first widget enews-widget widget-shortcode area-arbitrary \"><div class=\"enews enews-2-fields\"><h2 class=\"widgettitle\">Pay Less, Travel More eBook<\/h2><p>Subscribe to get our FREE eBook with tips on saving money when you travel!<\/p>\n\t\t\t<form id=\"subscribeenews-ext--1\" class=\"enews-form\" action=\"https:\/\/form.flodesk.com\/submit\" method=\"post\"\n\t\t\t\t target=\"_blank\" \t\t\t\tname=\"enews-ext--1\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" id=\"subbox1\" class=\"enews-subbox enews-fname\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"First Name\" placeholder=\"First Name\" name=\"firstName\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"email\" value=\"\" id=\"subbox\" class=\"enews-email\" aria-label=\"Email Address\" placeholder=\"Email Address\" name=\"email\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trequired=\"required\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" style=\"display: none; background-image: url(https:\/\/t.flodesk.com\/utm.gif?r=6090615d568cfe3fdf9991a4)\">\r\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"submitToken\" value=\"54309abe200531ff3fa000a45236f33011502a96b325e402f676235062f5dc511db737d7af9ed794d846313ab25dc284e120219c91823b8f1fb7b41b447335db294b82aec4086551ce75c2a64a61c59ac98cb43912f52c578e238682bcd02912\">\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"DOWNLOAD\" id=\"subbutton\" class=\"enews-submit\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/form>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><!-- \/Widget Shortcode --><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>You&#8217;ll reach various little &#8216;mini peaks&#8217; with outlooks that will capture your heart before eventually arriving at the &#8216;saddle&#8217;. If you&#8217;re game to trek the last little bit, be prepared for steep ascents, rocky tracks, snow and lots of calf-burning. Tuck into your treats right about now to get you to the top &#8211; you&#8217;ll need the energy.<\/p>\n<p>If you do make it up the little rocky goat track (and if the weather is nice), you may get a CRAZY cold shock on the tippy top &#8211; it&#8217;s icy! But, you&#8217;ll be rewarded with views that make your heart beat faster. Pretty darn magical! I&#8217;ll let the pictures do the talking.<\/p>\n<p>This hike was the highlight of my little hiking \u2018career\u2019. Absolutely without a doubt. The weather was perfect which is something that is super important otherwise you may spend 3-4 hours hiking uphill to reach a cloudy summit with no views.<\/p>\n<p>So check your weather app and make sure it&#8217;s safe. When you get down head from the summit, make your way over to your hotel for check-in. If you would like the most beautiful, luxe experience I HIGHLY recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eichardtsbar.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eichardt\u2019s Private Hotel<\/a>, right on the lake.<\/p>\n<p>I would suggest visiting Queenstown in May, if you&#8217;re not planning on skiing, because you might just be able to catch the best of both seasons. We arrived just as the first lot of snow had freshly fallen so we could hike in the sunshine and have our breath seized by the beauty of the snow-capped mountains too. TIP for this hike: Take lip balm &#8211; your lips will freeze over like mine did. Pack tissues and sunglasses too &#8211; trust me you&#8217;ll need them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8664 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-we-are-travel-girls-1.jpg\" alt=\"queenstown-we-are-travel-girls\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-we-are-travel-girls-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-we-are-travel-girls-1-120x160.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Queenstown-we-are-travel-girls-1-500x667.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Lunchtime!<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Lunch at The Sherwood Kitchen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>The Details<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When lunchtime calls head straight to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sherwoodqueenstown.nz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sherwood Kitchen<\/a> for lunch (a 10-minute drive from Queenstown). We fell in love with Sherwood\u2019s ethos: clean, simple, comforting and grown on site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Look out for the big \u2018Be Here Now\u2019 sign at the turn-off and get ready for healthy, hearty and delicious cuisine with a strong wine list. Our vibe to a tee. Highly recommend the polenta as a side (complete with cream, butter and parmesan to replenish your energy sources!).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As a side note: if you find yourself in town on a Sunday, the $25 roast is always right on point! These guys also host yoga classes upstairs if you need to stretch out those hiking muscles\u2026 but I have an even better option for you (more to come on that after dinner!).<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8665 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bel-lemond-track-queenstown-774x1032.jpg\" alt=\"bel-lemond-track-queenstown\" width=\"774\" height=\"1032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bel-lemond-track-queenstown-774x1032.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bel-lemond-track-queenstown-120x160.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bel-lemond-track-queenstown-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bel-lemond-track-queenstown.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Afternoon<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Drive to the Paradise<\/li>\n<li>Then onward to Glenorchy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>The Details<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>For an afternoon drive head over to the closest town called \u2018Paradise\u2019, it\u2019s a 45-50 minute drive to &#8216;Glenorchy&#8217; and then onto Paradise. This drive is spectacular \u2013 said to be the most scenic in Queenstown. Enjoy windy cliff roads with views of the snow-kissed mountains and aqua waters.
