A L'INFOLETTRE
After the song of the cicadas and the thundering waves of the West Coast, we reach, in just 200 kilometres, the imperturbable mountains of the Southern Alps and the peaceful waters of Lake Rotoiti. Even Leo and Lucas seem at peace here. Nelson Lakes National Park is the ideal place for families to swim and play in the water. What a great program for the day!
The next day, I get up at 3:30 a.m. to climb the ridge of the St Arnaud Range. Two hours later, trees are few and far between. Now, I walk among tall alpine grasses while trying to follow a semblance of track visibly eroded. One last effort and I can finally contemplate this majestic ridge some 1,700 m above sea level.
For our third day in the park, we cycle to the start of the Paddy Trail. Our hike around Mount Robert starts. An hour later, we reach a stunning viewpoint above the lake. Another one! What a wonderful stay in Nelson Lakes National Park!
