Travers Range

The Travers Range is the most popular climbing range in the Nelson region. Both easy and challenging routes exist on the four main peaks: Angelus, Hopeless, Cupola and Travers. Access is best via Robert Ridge (see above) or the Travers Valley. As well as the track and huts in the main valley there are tracks into three side creeks and three high huts: Lake Angelus (36 bunks, serviced), Hopeless Hut (6 bunks, standard), Cupola Basin Hut (8 bunks, standard).
