The Grampians is a popular hiking destination in Nelson, offering a challenging but rewarding climb to a series of rocky outcrops with panoramic vistas. The trail ascends through native bush and open slopes, culminating in stunning 360-degree views of Nelson city, Tasman Bay, and the distant Kahurangi and Richmond Ranges. It’s a favourite for locals and visitors seeking a quick dose of nature and a great photo opportunity. The track is well-formed but steep in sections, making it a moderate workout.
