Mount Aspiring National Park

Mount Aspiring National Park is in the Southern Alps of the South Island of New Zealand, north of Fiordland National Park, situated in Otago and Westland regions. The park forms part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site.

It was established in 1964 as New Zealand's tenth National Park. The park covers 3,562 square kilometres (1,375 sq mi) at the southern end of the Southern Alps, directly to the west of Lake Wanaka, and is popular for tramping, walking and mountaineering. Mount Aspiring / Tititea, elevation 3,033 metres (9,951 ft) above sea level, is the mountain that gives the park its name.

Other prominent peaks within the park include Mount Pollux, elevation 2,542 metres (8,340 ft), and Mount Brewster, elevation 2,519 metres (8,264 ft).

The Haast Pass, one of the three principal road routes across the Southern Alps, is found in the north-eastern corner of the park.
