About This Adventure
Embark on a captivating 4km ridge walk, a hidden gem rarely explored by visitors. With intertwining trails offering stunning views of a river and a wilderness lake, this family-friendly adventure allows children to choose their path, ensuring a fun and safe experience. Enjoy a memorable 2-hour summer trek or a half-day hike.
A particular favourite with the guides is a beautiful ridge walk c. 4km from the far end of Hetta which is seldom discovered by visitors to the area.
The ridge trails crisscross each other many times, giving multiple vantage points to a river on one side and a wilderness lake on the other. It is a particularly fun trail for children since they can make decisions as to which path to take at every junction and you needn't worry about becoming lost since all paths come back together in the end.
This is normally offered either as a 2-hour product in summer or a half-day hike out to the far end of the ridge, returning along the shore-line of the lake.
