Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail

The Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail is the longest of the 23 Ngā Haerenga Great Rides of New Zealand, serving up epic vistas from Aoraki Mount Cook all the way to arty Ōamaru beside the Pacific Ocean.

It is one of New Zealand’s truly Great Rides; the crème de la crème of multi-day cycling experiences in NZ for the iconic southern landscapes traversed and easily navigated by a wide demographic.

The trail is broken into nine sections.  Ride the full length over five to seven days for the depth of experience and huge sense of accomplishment, or pick one or two sections and ride them as day trips from local towns. The variety of terrain means there is a mix of easy to intermediate trail riding.

The following routes are popular with our guests staying at Discovery Countrytime Hotel Omarama.
