Lindis Pass

Mountain pass Cromwell, Otago, New Zealand

What to expect

Lindis Pass is a mountain pass located in the South Island of New Zealand, with an elevation of 971 meters. The pass is surrounded by grassland, comprising snow tussocks, and is home to various native bird species, including the New Zealand falcon, New Zealand pipit, and spotted skink. The area is beautiful in every season, but particularly enchanting with a dusting of snow. The Lindis Conservation Area, adjacent to the highway, features snow tussock grassland and is home to native birds such as the rifleman, grey warbler, and fantail. Visitors can explore the undulating terrain, and there are opportunities for walking, mountain biking, or horse riding in the area. The weather can be unpredictable, so it's essential to carry warm, windproof clothing and appropriate footwear
