What is peak bagging?

Peak Bagging is an addictive pastime which involves hiking to every summit in a collection of mountains. In Scotland, peak bagging is known as ‘munro bagging’, and over 4000 people have completed the entire list of 284 Scottish munros (with many thousands more having bagged at least one or two munros). We fell in love with munro bagging during a walking holiday in Scotland, so we set about creating our own New Zealand peak bagging list!

Our walks are from all over New Zealand, and we feature maps, walking routes, and transport information on many of our peak pages. So welcome, we hope you enjoy peak bagging as much as we do!
