Walter Peak, Mountain summit near Queenstown, New Zealand
Located on the western shore of Lake Wakatipu, Walter Peak rises to 1,800 meters above sea level, offering expansive views of the surrounding landscape.
The mountain area transformed from early European sheep farming settlements in the 1860s into a modern agricultural demonstration site with the Colonel's Homestead.
Known as Kā Kamu-a-Hakitekura in Māori language, the mountain maintains strong connections to indigenous heritage and agricultural traditions through farm demonstrations.
Visitors reach Walter Peak via the TSS Earnslaw steamship from Queenstown, with regular departures throughout the day for farm tours and dining experiences.
The working farm at Walter Peak demonstrates high country farming methods, including sheep shearing and dog handling, while serving local cuisine at 1,800 meters.
