Pioneer Women's Memorial

Takes about 25 minutes from the gondola side to here. There are a number of rest points along the route, each seat represents a memorial to the first ships of the early settlers. There are four ships and you will see four different labels on the seats. This is a great memorial to the early women settlers.

Absolutely steep climb that got us panting heavily all the way up! Remember to bring some water as you will definitely need it when you get to the top. We took the steeper route up which rewarded us with a breathtaking (literally!) view. Some people took rest halfway and had a mini picnic overlooking chch below, you could bring some snacks if you find it hard to continue the climb.

Great walk up the Bridle Path to this fantastic Memorial. Great views over Christchurch right out to the Kaikoura Coast and to Lyttelton and Banks Penisula in the other direction. Great at sunset.

Great little walk with great views. It's steep track whether you approach from the Lyttleton or Christchurch side, but short. About 25 mins from small car-park next to Christchurch Gondola.

Enjoyable walking trail and a nice lookout where you can have a break. I walked down from the gondola summit station and back up again.

Good Place to walk around. The View is great but a little windy.

Always love heading up here!!! It's one way to sort the talkers from the do'ers. great views, good for a dog walk too.

Rate this sunset? The most precious gold and sun covered by the smoky clouds which look great 😊 .
