The Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail is a cycle trail funded as one of the projects of the New Zealand Cycle Trail system in Otago, New Zealand. The trail is to extend 312km from Aoraki/Mount Cook to Oamaru on the Pacific Ocean shore.
Funding for the trail from the NZCT budget was approved in July 2010, after the trail had been shortlisted as one of 13 from 54 nation-wide proposals.
The $2.75 million from the NZCT are intended to go towards a 312km long trail running from Mt Cook via Twizel and Lake Ohau to Omarama and Duntroon to Oamaru. The trail has been lauded by Tourism Waitaki general manager as the greatest tourism opportunity the Waitaki Valley region had ever seen.
