Description

The dramatic Lindis Pass links the Mackenzie Basin (Omarama) in Canterbury with Central Otago (Cromwell). The actual pass crosses a saddle between the valleys of the Lindis and Ahuriri Rivers at an altitude of 971 metres above sea level. Native bird species living here include titipounamu (rifleman), riroriro (grey warbler), piwakawaka (fantail) and karearea (falcon). Although there are no formally marked tracks in the Lindis Conservation Area, you’re welcome to explore the undulating terrain.

The pass on State Highway 8 is the highest point on the South Island’s state highway network, and the second highest point on the New Zealand state highway network, after the Desert Road. Despite this, it is not considered one of the alpine passes as it located in the dry interior of the South Island. Summers are typically hot and dry while heavy snow and frequent ice are common in winter.
