Summer on Ruapehu
Mount Ruapehu, famed for its snow sports and alpine crossing, has a new attraction that promises fun, fitness and adventure for the summer months. The Mountains to Sea Cycle Trail forms part of the New Zealand Cycle Trail and covers 317km of spectacular landscape, from the slopes of the mountain to the Whanganui River.
The Trail caters for a range of abilities from beginners and families to competitive riders, and offers stunning scenery and rich cultural heritage. The full trail can be completed in 4-6 days or the riders can opt for day rides. The trail crosses the
294m Hapuawhenua viaduct from Ruapehu, passing through Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks and crosses the famous Bridge to Nowhere.
Riders then take a jet boat ride down the Whanganui River to Pipiriki and cycle to Whanganui along the Whanganui River Road.
