Arthur’s Pass National Park is a spectacularly beautiful wilderness, which straddles the main divide of the Southern Alps and lies on both sides of the Christchurch/West Coast highway. The sub-alpine forest is fascinating as the trees are generously draped with mosses, lichens and liverworts.

There is a striking difference between the habitats on either side of the Main Divide (the mid-line of the Alps). To the east the forests are almost entirely mountain beech, to the west the situation is more complex with a variety of podocarp species, beech, kamahi and kaiakawaka all present. Alpine plants grow in profusion above the bush line and this is one place where they can be seen quite easily on a short walk off the road.

Choose a tranquil setting for your ceremony amidst mature native trees and lush ferny undergrowth with the impressive Avalanche Creek Falls behind you.
