Waikato Tukino Alpine Hut

A moderate plus to fit round-trip walk of 5 hours including coffee / tea stop and lunch break. There are a few areas where scrambling is required up some of the low bluffs and rocky ridges. The final descent into the small valley just before the hut can be a problem as some of the soft “scree” areas can freeze over and behave like the surface of slippery rock or glacier and caution must be used. To avoid this area it is possible and better to go higher up the final ridge and go around the top of this little valley.
