DESCRIPTION

The Mackenzie region is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. One way to completely immerse yourself in these beautiful landscapes and explore the wilderness is grab a pack and lace up your walking boots.

When it comes to trekking, walking, tramping and hiking, the Mackenzie region has something for everyone – from easy half hour walks along well-formed paths, to alpine hikes that can last days and take you into the vast wilderness of the Southern Alps. For the particularly hardy adventurer there is even mountain climbing on Aoraki/Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest mountain, and the same peak that Sir Edmund Hillary practised on before his successful ascent of Everest.

Aoraki/Mount Cook ‘the cloud piercer’, our highest peak dominates the Southern Alps mountain range that divides New Zealand’s South Island into east and west. The Mt Cook National Park’s towering mountains, vast glaciers and remote snowfields inspired Sir Edmund Hillary, before his quest of Mt Everest.
