A moderate out-and-back tramp covering 12km in 4-5 hours including refreshment breaks that takes you to the Rangipo Hut passing over the swing bridge taken out by previous Lahar flows. There are a few areas where care has to be exercised since in the summer the ground is rough with ankle turning opportunities and, in wintertime, some of the slopes could be icy. There is an overall altitude gain of over 1,000m so plenty of exercise.
