Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park Highlights

Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park encompasses New Zealand's highest peak, reaching 3,724 metres, and the 27-kilometre-long Tasman Glacier. This alpine region features the Hooker Valley Track, which crosses three suspension bridges to reach proglacial lakes, and the steep ascent to Sealy Tarns and Mueller Hut for panoramic views of the Sealy Range. The Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre and the National Park Visitor Centre provide historical context on mountaineering achievements and the area's unique geological formation within the Southern Alps.
