We are speaking on behalf of out business. Which is not promoting freedom hiking in these conditions. If you an experience climbing which is a small % of the globes population. Then by all means research your hike and seek proffessional advice from DOC
Yes it is. Quite a bit
Its all about work place and being safe.
"Freedom hiking is not permitted" - according to who? I've walked it a number of times this winter - what rules am I breaking??
You're saying "not permitted" and "guide only" as if these are the rules and this is not correct! I appreciate you're promoting safety but there is no reason for experienced people not to go and enjoy this walk as I've done. Please don't spread misinformation!
If you have the experience and the gear I don’t think you can be prevented from using the track. Not sure there is a law and who would be policing it? I’ve summited the mountains in that area and would be disappointed not to be able to use the track to access.
Hi! Is it still covered in snow?
Why is freedom hiking not allowed i thought it was a national park and belongs to the people

Tongariro park is full of glistening snow.. still. Please note to hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing a guide is required. By the end of October the track will start losing the heavy snow drifts and freedom hiking will open up for a safe path to travel across the ancient volcanoes
Visitors can expect a big weekend on the mountain.
Take a ride to the top on a snow shuttle.
Mountain visitors can expect congestion on the mountain roads and should consider using the Park and Ride services from Ohakune from 7;15 am and from National Park Village from 8:15 am in the weekends until 12:15 pm.
