Tongariro Alpine Crossing | Tramping (Hiking) Video Series | New Zealand

New 2022 Version
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of the most incredible day walks in the world. Although beautiful, it can be dangerous if you are not fully prepared to enter an alpine environment. Extreme weather, terrain and distance have resulted in this track having the highest number of search and rescues for trampers in New Zealand. This video takes you through the entire track and shows you how to prepare for a successful day out so that you make it home safely.
Produced by the NZ Mountain Safety Council with Quite Nice Films
Developed in partnership with: Department of Conservation | MetService New Zealand | New Zealand Police | Ngāti Hikairo ki Tongariro | LandSAR | NZ Search and Rescue | TourismNZ | Tourism Industry Aotearoa | Visit Ruapehu | Love Taupo
This 2022 updated video version is one of eleven proposed solutions to improve safety on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing made by an independent Issue Specific Advisory Group established in 2018. Led by MSC, with the support of Ngāti Hikairo ki Tongariro and Department of Conservation (DOC), the group suggested that subsequent versions should be translated into other languages. It also suggested replacing outdated footage and better demonstrating the length of hike, successful descent techniques and reinforcing alternative trip options.
