This rail crossing, from Christchurch to Greymouth on the West Coast, is one of the world's most spectacular alpine trips. The TranzAlpine rushes west along the Canterbury Plains, then weaves its way through the stunning Southern Alps. It climbs along cliffs high above the Waimakariri River and crosses five viaducts; the highest is 147 metres long and 73 metres high. The highest point on the line is 737 metres above sea level and in winter snow can lie alongside the track.

“An interesting ray trip from Christchurch”
We enjoyed this trip, but would agree with the 5 out of 10 rating that someone else gave to it. We travelled in April, but it would probably be...
