Between the lakes of Rotoiti and Rotoroa in New Zealand's South Island, is the high alpine tarn of Lake Angelus with the nearby luxurious Angelus Hut. Only another 400 metres higher is the fine peak of Mt. Angelus (2075m).

Going

The most spectacular hiking access to the lake, hut and mountain is along the Robert Ridge - a consistently high, sometimes narrow and usually beautiful route. There are great views into the basins above the Travers Valley and alpine herbfields for budding botanists.
