★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing trip to Caroline Hut and over Ball Pass. Challenging but safe, lots of new skills learnt. Guides were brilliant. Pass trip doesn’t disappoint and really felt like one of the iconic Aotearoa “bucket list” adventures. Highly recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had a great experience discovering the West and East sides of the Main Divide with Alpine Recreation. My guides Axel and Anna were highly professional and available to provide suggestions and tips at any time. The logistic was great: transportation, food, gear when needed were organized perfectly and their knowledge of the area allowed them to have plenty of alternatives in case of the weather or snow pack required to change plans.
I definitely recommend Alpine Recreation to discover the amazing beauty of the NZ Alps.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My Intensive Mountaineering Skills trip was everything I expected and beyond. It covered all the areas I wanted to find out more about and Mark our guide did his best to pack in as much information as possible. Caroline hut is fantastic and provides access to some many great mountains and to stunning views.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great trip to Tasman Saddle ski touring. Weather just average, but some awesome skiing when we got out. Our guides, Elke & Karen, we’re super helpful, friendly, very safety conscious and managed the group well, especially as we didn’t know one another before heading out! Good food, a freezing hut, but great times

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My wife and I joined Alpine Recreation on their 3-day Ball Pass Crossing trip, together with two other clients. Our group had a wide range of experience in the mountains, from not much to a fair amount... and we all learned heaps. It was a stunning trip, with lots of laughs, lots of learning and outstanding scenery. Our guides, Stevo and Elke were exceptional. Route-finding on the approaches to and from Ball Pass is a serious challenge, with all the wash-outs and avalanches. But they led us through these obstacles, passing on skills and techniques along the way. I have climbed with friends and clubs before but I have never learned so much, so fast. Stevo and Elke were so supportive, encouraging and thoughtful. They are great communicators, happy to share their knowledge and experience. It was an intense and fun 3- days... a great workout and worth every cent.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had an amazing experience doing the Ball Pass Crossing, something I'd wanted to do for many years. Our guides Elke and Stevo were patient, helpful, knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. One of the things I most enjoyed was learning new skills, like how to walk with cramp-ons, use an ice axe, and self-arrest if one slips. Also, Caroline Hut is great accommodation with incredible views of Aoraki and its avalanches. I can't wait to bring my partner next time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Ball Pass trip was an unforgettable experience.
Expertly guided, and a measured amount of challenge. Great food, comfortable accommodation at the lodge, and well provisioned hut.
The perfect intro to mountaineering.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I spent an awesome three days with the Alpine Recreation team doing the Ball Pass Crossing. The trip was a great mix of challenging terrain, fantastic views and great company.
I had my first meaningful experience of hiking in snow and ice and learned some skills that I'm keen to use more of in the future.
Our guides, Elka & Steveo, were outstanding. They were immensely capable and personable. Their patient and low key manner was very reassuring and for all the tricky situations we came across I never felt unsafe. They were also very generous with their knowledge and had many wonderful stories to tell.
I can't imagine doing that trip without highly competent guides.
I'll definitely be back for more!
