About Mt Cook

The Mount Cook region is sometimes called the Mackenzie Country—it’s the high inland basin beneath the Southern Alps and Aoraki and Mount Cook, south west of Christchurch.

At 3,753 metres Mount Cook (or Aoraki in Maori, meaning cloud piercer) is New Zealand’s highest mountain. It towers above a splendid cast of massive snow-clad peaks that make up the Mount Cook National Park.

Nudging one side of Mount Cook is the mighty Tasman Glacier, a 30-kilometre giant and one of the longest outside the Himalayas.

At Mount Cook Village you can experience high country life at its best. There’s plenty to do within the village and surrounding areas—from glacier skiing in the winter to hiking and fishing in the summer.

As well as awesome alpine scenery, Mount Cook can surprise you with some of the best cuisine you could possibly imagine.
