Know before you go
There is challenging avalanche terrain above Moonlight and Roses Hut. If you plan to travel beyond the hut, check the avalanche danger before you go on the New Zealand Avalanche Advisory.
Avalanches usually occur from May to November in Wakatipu, Wānaka and Central Otago. There can also be avalanches outside this period, if there is still snow coverage.
If you are going into avalanche terrain, always:
- Have the relevant avalanche skills and training.
- Check the ATES rating and the New Zealand Avalanche Advisory.
- Go with a buddy. Both of you should carry and know how to use an avalanche transceiver, a snow shovel and a probe.
