Grade

Easy

Access

Description

From the carpark at the northern end of Arthurs Pass the track is marked at the same place at the more popular (shorter) route to Devils Punchbowl Falls. The Bridal Veil track is through Beech forest and has a reasonable gradient except for a short "down and up" in the middle. It exits to SH73, but there is no footpath so return is along the same route. Allow 1.5 hours for the return walk.

The walks are documented in a small booklet available at the Arthurs Pass information centre for $2.

Getting there

Park in the carpark signposted at the northern end of Arthurs Pass.
