Q
Milford Sound Self-Drive (Queenstown - Roads)
Jen - 13th Sep, 2017
Hi there, I am looking to self-drive to Milford Sound from Queenstown during Oct 1 - 2, was wondering if this is possible or will I need snow chains?

You should be fine without chains, but there is a small chance snow chains must be carried if the weather is bad. Or if their is a lot of snow during that time chains could be required. It just depends on the weather at the time, as it is possible. You will be able to check online on the day if chains are required: http://www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/traffic/.
