Mount / Mt Robert Circuit Route
Time: 5 hr return
Located in Nelson Lakes National Park, Mt Robert rises steeply from the still waters of Lake Rotoiti.
The 5 hour day walk is a loop track which offers incredible views, and passes by a number of cute little huts and shelters. The track is narrow and overgrown in places with snow/ice in winter/spring.

Wow, what a walk!
We went towards the end of winter and the top was pretty full still of snow. A couple feet deep of snow which was difficult but funny when every now and then you drop down. My girlfriend found it quite scary though at times.
The walk up is quite steep but the views are totally incredible. It says 5 hours but we managed it in about 3.5 hrs.

The walk was challenging and mostly bare.
Sunscreen is necessary on this walk. The view from the Summit was great but the lack of plant scenery on the way up/down was disappointing.

Very nice walk with changing scenery.
First is steep, nice challenge. After it is more relaxed walking. Was way shorter than written. Did 9km in 3 hours instead of 5 hours.

Nice loop with views of the Lake Rotoiti.
The walk is nice through the bush and over the top but not as nice when walking through rocks.

The Mt Robert Loop was a wonderful hike above Nelson Lakes.
Much of the hike is above the bush line with expansive views.

It is a good walk for a day trip to the Nelson Lakes.
Gives you a very nice view of the lake.

First you have to go up the hill which is hard, then the view is very nice - then you go easily down - very nice.

First hour was hard, then absolutely stunning view of St Arnauds Range, Lake Rotoiti and you can look to the Kahurangi National Park!!
Nice walk down with lake views. We did it in three hours (without breaks, about 560m to go up).

Beautiful.
The lake is gorgeous. Bit tough but worth it. Some really nice huts along the way.
