Overview

Linking the Mackenzie Basin with Central Otago, the Lindis Pass is one of New Zealand's most scenic stretches of tarmac.

Humbled by the size and scale of the surrounding mountains, cruising the roads in wintery conditions ensures each snow-covered peak is as stunning as the last.

With the pass set between Cromwell and Omarama, whichever path you're heading means arriving at a charming destination perfect for staying warm.
