Crown Range Road

Crown Range Road is New Zealand's highest sealed main road, climbing to 1,076 meters above sea level on the pass between Queenstown and Wanaka through an extraordinary panorama of high-country farmland, mountain ranges, and the deep blue of Lake Wanaka below. The descent to Wanaka on the Cardona side through the Cardrona Valley is one of New Zealand's most scenic drives. The road is popular with cyclists and motorists seeking the most direct (though challenging in winter) route between the two resort towns.
