Mt Vic Summit

Mt Victoria, Wellington, New Zealand

Direct route to the summit of Mount Victoria.

Intermediate

Bike and Foot

From Pirie Street climb up a wide and mostly easy track. You'll cross the Hataitai to City after about 0.1km, but continue up the hill for a further 0.3km.

At the marked intersection with the alternative Mt Vic Summit branch, turn right and head up the hill. The alternative branch starts on Lookout Walkway 0.15m to the north, and also has Lookout Scenic veering off about one third of the way along.

Once the alternative branches merge follow the signs for about 0.25km up to the intersection of Alexandra Road and Lookout Road, including a very short section where the track coincides with Southern Mt Victoria.

Cross the road and climb straight up a grassy knob to the pyryimid shaped Richard Evelyn Byrd Memorial. From there, cross the car park and climb up either the steps or the adjacent grass to the summit look out.

The main track starts at a park just off the top of Pirie Street. An alternative entry branches off the Lookout Walkway about 0.2km from its Hataitai to City track end.

Ends at the summit of Mount Victoria.

1.12km

Single track
