Review & FAQ:
The Nevis Valley runs through a broad valley between two high mountain ranges, the Remarkables and the Hector Mountains. It was first used by the Maori people as a trail. Then early settlers farmed the remote area. Everything changed in 1862 when gold was discovered and gold diggers flooded in. Today, only the family stationed at Ben Nevis lives in the area. When it is not snowbound, the valley is navigable by trail bikes and 4 wheel drive vehicles. The area is suitable for hiking, fly fishing for trout, picnicking and exploring the remains of the buildings from the gold rush era.
