Good to know
The 15 km alpine access road is wide and suitable for cars, campervans and buses. The car park, at 1,725 m, is the highest in New Zealand. Chains must be carried at all times; there's a fitting bay with parking along the road (no chain hire in Fairlie or Tekapo). An optional third-party shuttle also picks up from the Top Saddle Carpark, about 7 km up the road.
