Head beyond Twizel and be prepared to experience some lovely natural sights. Just 25 kilometres away, Lake Pukaki is a nice place to get a little fresh air. Another recommendation is Lake Ohau, 18 kilometres away from Twizel.
Once you've picked up a trail map and pass at Ohau Skifield, you won't want to waste any time getting to the summit! You might also like to ride the chairlift and conquer the trails at Roundhill Ski Area.
Be sure to visit Mueller Ridge for a pleasant afternoon out.

Plan on going to Wanaka? This destination is just 90 kilometres to the southwest. If you're staying here a while, make sure you check out Lake Wanaka, the Rippon Vineyard and the Puzzling World. Also consider swinging by Basecamp Wanaka Climbing Centre and the Wanaka Golf Club.
Mountain biking and rock climbing are very popular with the locals. These activities will let you see this amazing region from an entirely different perspective.

Time spent in the charming Canterbury region is a truly unique experience, and chances are that it will have touched you with its magic. But alas, there must come a time to say goodbye.
Time to fly home? Pack up your suitcase, set your alarm and map out a route to Christchurch International Airport (CHC). It's roughly 210 kilometres to the northeast.
