A prominent ridgeline above Lake Wānaka, Roys Peak is climbed via a single well-maintained track that gains roughly 1,200 metres over approximately eight kilometres. The classic photograph is taken from a false summit spur where a lone figure appears silhouetted against the turquoise lake far below. The panorama extends to the snow-covered peaks of Mount Aspiring National Park.
