THE MOUNTAINEER

Christchurch - Arthur’s Pass - Christchurch

a

A truly remarkable rail journey deep into the heart of the majestic Southern Alps of New Zealand by heritage train.

Travel along one of the most spectacular stretches of rail in the world, powered by our retro, red and white, 1950’s classic DA locomotive. Take in stunning vistas of the Canterbury Plains, then climb through untouched mountain landscapes, across turquoise blue rivers, gorges, bridges, and viaducts, to Arthur’s Pass Village, the highest railway station in the South Island at 2400 ft above sea level.
