The Queenstown Hill hike begins from Belfast Street, a short distance from the town center. This out-and-back trail is very well-maintained. This is a hike for everyone. From the summit, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking vistas of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, and the surrounding mountain ranges. It’s also possible to start this hike from the town center, but be prepared for an additional 100 meters or 328 feet of elevation gain, making the ascent slightly more challenging.
