Christchurch Port Hills trail guide
Posted: Tue September 2, 2008 12:50 PM UTC
Does someone have a good link to a guide or trail map of the different walks on the Port Hills outside Christchurch? I'll be there over the weekend of 8-10 Nov and would like to do some sightseeing in this vicinity. Thanks everyone.

If you use this link:

http://www.ccc.govt.nz/Parks/Recreation/walkways_parks.asp

you get to more links with the walking tracks in the Port Hills.

If you need more info do not hesitate to contact me, I have walked most of them. If you depend on public transportation you can still do some great walks, for example from Sumner to the Gondola and Lyttelton, from the Gondola to the Sign of the Kiwi and down to the Sign of the Takahe in the suburb of Cashmere, or vice-versa. And so on.

There are lots of walks from the Christchurch Gondola. Head to the top and they have a great map on the wall. You can't really get lost. You can walk along the Crater Rim walkway from the Gondola - it is well sign posted. There is a circular track (only about an hour) or if you want to go for longer, just carry along the Crater Rim.
