Become a Trail Lover
The Queenstown Trail is one of the region’s greatest treasures — a 160km network of off-road trails introduced in 2012 that links Gibbston, Arrowtown, Queenstown, Frankton, Jacks Point, and Arthurs Point. More than just a way to get from A to B, it’s the best way to experience Queenstown: winding through landscapes you won’t see from the road, past rivers, lakes, vineyards, and mountains. The trail lets you skip the traffic and immerse yourself in the natural beauty that makes this place so special.
