Dart Track closed due to slip

validFromlastUpdated
Otago

A large slip in Dart Valley between Daleys Flat Hut and Chinamans Bluff has made the Rees-Dart Track circuit impassable. Dart Track is closed until at least December 2026. View a photo of the slip (JPG, 747K). However trampers can walk some of the track from either end. Be aware in winter (May- November), conditions on the Rees Saddle and Cascade Saddle change quickly due to snow, ice and avalanche terrain. There is a risk of being trapped at Dart Hut by alpine conditions if you don’t have alpine equipment and experience.
