About Aoraki/Mount Cook Area

Mount Cook (Aoraki in Maori) at 3,754 metres is New Zealand's highest mountain. It towers above a splendid cast of massive snow-clad peaks that make up Mount Cook National Park. Nudging one side of Mt Cook is the mighty Tasman Glacier, a 30-kilometre giant and one of the longest glaciers outside the Himalayas.

Mount Cook village is an easy five-hour drive from Christchurch. We recommend visitors take the route from Christchurch to Fairlie, gateway to the Mackenzie Country. From here the road passes through a land of lakes, vast open spaces and golden, tussock-covered hills rolling towards the towering Southern Alps.

On the way you will pass turquoise glacial lakes such as Lake Tekapo, on whose shores is the stone Church of the Good Shepherd, which has a spectacular view of the Southern Alps framed by its altar window.

Mount Cook Attractions and Activities

Aoraki/Mt Cook has something for everyone, from scenic flights, to mountaineering, to gentle established bush walks, skiing, or just sitting back and enjoying in the scenery.

Scenic flights from Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook afford breathtaking views over the Southern Alps and countryside, with ski-plane landings on the Tasman Glacier providing an unforgettable experience. All ski options are available, including heli-skiing and ski touring, and guides are available for climbing.

Glorious mountain walks to suit every degree of fitness show off the park's rich flora, including the Mount Cook “lily”, the largest buttercup in the world.

The picturesque historic towns of Albury, Fairlie, Kimbell, Burkes Pass, Tekapo, and Twizel are interesting places to explore.

Be prepared for an awesome experience that will stay with you forever.
