Access is often a sensitive issue. Whilst this site aims to provide accurate information about access, it remains the ultimate responsibility of the user to ensure the appropriate permissions are sought and rules and/or regulations are obeyed.
For tours which start (or end) at a ski area, please read the Ski area access guidelines.
The Walking Access New Zealand website (www.wams.org.nz) is a great resource for public access information and for back-country huts.
