Aoraki Mt Cook National Park

Walkers in the National Park

When it comes to walking, tramping, hiking and sightseeing in Aoraki Mt Cook National Park, there is something for everyone, with a landscape of glaciers, mountain streams, icebergs and glacial lakes.

Choose from easy half hour walks along formed paths, to multi-day alpine hikes that take you into the vast wilderness of the Southern Alps. Aoraki/ Mount Cook is New Zealand's tallest mountain and the same peak that Sir Edmund Hillary "practised" on before his successful ascent of Everest.
