Mount Robert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Robert 1421m high mountain, in the Nelson area of New Zealand's South Island. It is within the Nelson Lakes National Park.

Access to the mountain is via the town of Saint Arnaud on a partially unsealed road followed by a two hour walk.

On its northern side is an abandoned skifield. In 2005 the rope tows were removed and shifted to the nearby Rainbow Ski Area. A lack of snow was cited as one of the reasons for removing the tows.[1] At times a helicopter shuttle was used for access to the skifield.
