Tips from locals
Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park is a rugged land of ice and rock, with 19 peaks over 3,000 metres including New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki/Mount Cook.
New Zealand's highest mountain. Excellent day walks or over night tramps. Only 1 hour from Omarama
With New Zealand's highest Peak surrounded by glaciers this is a stunning spot all year round. There are some interesting walk perhaps the best of which is to watch the ice bergs in the moraine lakes at the end of the glaciers. Lake Pukaki next to Mt Cook is the most stunning turquoise colour.
