Warning Alert: Trail Information for Angelus Hut Pathways
Angelus Hut, a popular tramping spot located high on the Travers Range between Lakes Rotoiti and Rotoroa in the Nelson Lakes National Park, has been identified as a hotspot for tramping incidents in New Zealand. To address this issue, an Issue Specific Advisory Group was formed by the Ministry for the Environment (MSC), the Department of Conservation (DOC), and the New Zealand Police.
The group's mission was to develop prevention solutions for tramping incidents at Angelus Hut. After a facilitated design-thinking process, the Advisory Group published a report outlining proposed solutions to improve the safety of trampers heading to Angelus Hut.
The report, which can be found here, contains agreed actions for each proposed solution. MSC and DOC reviewed the provisional report and discussed each of the proposed solutions in detail before agreeing on the final version.
The report can also be read in an article from October 2021 on RNZ. The proposed solutions aim to enhance the safety of trampers at Angelus Hut, making it a safer and more enjoyable experience for all.
For those planning a tramp to Angelus Hut, the area's tracks can be found on Plan My Walk. Additionally, a tramping video series for the Robert Ridge Route is available for viewing.
The next steps towards the implementation of the proposed solutions have been agreed upon. For those seeking specific agreed actions or recommendations from the official Issue Specific Advisory Group regarding tramping safety at Angelus Hut, it is recommended to consult official DOC reports or releases directly related to Nelson Lakes National Park or Angelus Hut safety reviews, as these may provide the detailed proposals or agreed actions.
