Mount Robert, Mountain summit in Nelson Lakes National Park, New Zealand.
Mount Robert rises to 1,421 meters above sea level, offering clear views of Lake Rotoiti and the surrounding peaks of Nelson Lakes National Park.
The mountain transitioned from private ownership under John Kerr's Lake Station to Crown management following his death in 1898, changing public access patterns.
In 2014, the mountain received its dual name Pourangahau / Mount Robert through the Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō Treaty settlement, recognizing Māori heritage.
The Mount Robert Circuit spans 8.4 kilometers, featuring the steep Pinchgut Track and gentler Paddy's Track, with access from the car park at 880 meters elevation.
The northeastern slopes display an unusually low treeline due to a forest fire in 1887 and subsequent grazing, while mature beech forests remain on western sides.
