UNLIKE the sheer peaks of nearby Mounts Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe, Mount Tongariro is more spread out, and supports a popular alpine crossing. Tongariro can be ascended by way of the one-day alpine crossing, or as part of the longer three to four day Tongariro Northern Circuit, which is one of New Zealand’s Great Walks.
(By the way, it is strongly, officially, recommended that anyone who is not a serious mountaineer should not attempt the Tongariro crossing, or circuit, in the more wintery months between early May and late October. The same goes for all New Zealand’s Great Walks. They are only ‘walks’ in season.)
