covers 3,555 kmē at the southern end of the Southern Alps, directly to the
west of Lake Wanaka, and is popular for tramping, walking and
mountaineering. Mount Aspiring (3033 m) is the mountain which gives the
park its name. Other prominent peaks within the park include Mount Pollux

The park forms part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site.
Popular tramping tracks in the park include:

These tramps attract many international visitors as well as New Zealanders.
Some have become very famous and they all pass through amazing alpine and
sub-alpine scenery.
