About the Wangapeka Track
The Wangapeka Track is a tramping track in the north-west of the South Island of New Zealand. It is one of the main tramping tracks in the Kahurangi National Park, a protected area managed by the Department of Conservation. The route traverses the southern end of the park from the historic Wangapeka goldfields area west of Tapawera to the coastal plains of the West Coast at Little Wanganui. The route is 59 km (37 mi) long and crosses the Wangapeka and Little Wanganui saddles, each over 1,000 m (3,300 ft) in elevation. The track passes through the valleys of the Wangapeka River, Karamea River, TaipÅ River and Little Wanganui River. The majority of the track is in river valleys and under forest cover, with small sections in tussock land at Stag Flat and the Little Wanganui Saddle. It typically takes walkers 4-6 days to complete the route.

About this route in 3D
Open the designer and the real Wangapeka Track becomes a solid topographic model: the route rides on top of true elevation terrain, surrounding peaks and valleys included, with automatic place labels for the towns and landmarks along the way.
Everything is editable. Swap in your own dates, rename the labels, change the base shape, or replace the route entirely with the trip YOU took. The model you see is the model you get, as a watertight file ready for any 3D printer, or as a finished print made by us.
How it works
- Open the Wangapeka Track in our 3D designer. Real terrain, real elevation, in your browser.
- Make it yours: use your own route, dates, labels, size and shape.
- Download the printable STL file, or order a finished 3D print. We ship to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
Common questions
- Is this the real terrain of the Wangapeka Track?
- Yes. The 3D model is built from real elevation data, so every climb, ridge and valley along the Wangapeka Track appears at true relative height.
- Can I use my own route instead?
- Yes. The designer accepts your Google Timeline export, geo-tagged photos, or a route you draw by hand. The Wangapeka Track is just the starting point.
- How do I get the finished model?
- Two ways: download a printable STL or GLB file for your own 3D printer, or order a finished print and we make it and ship it. We deliver to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
- Can I download the Wangapeka Track as an STL file for my own 3D printer?
- Yes. The printable STL (or GLB) file of the Wangapeka Track costs $10, one token, and is watertight and ready to slice. You can also change the size, base shape and labels before you export it.
