The village of Wanaka is situated on the lake of the same name and surrounded by mountains. This area lends itself very well for making lovely walks through this beautiful area. The walks vary from short (1 to 2 hours and easy) to long, a whole day or longer and spicy. One of the most beautiful walks we found is the 4 hour Diamond Lake Rocky Mountain track on the other side of the lake. During the hike you look out on the lake and its surroundings, really beautiful! And in terms of effort, the walk is actually also fine to do. So if you are visiting Wanaka and you want to make a beautiful relatively short walk, this is definitely recommended.
