Mount Cook Ultimate Alpine Experience Combo – Heli & Ski Plane

The Peak of Adventure: Mount Cook Ultimate Alpine Experience

If you want the most comprehensive view of New Zealand’s highest peaks, the Mount Cook Ultimate Alpine Experience is the perfect choice. This unique adventure allows you to fly in both a helicopter and a ski plane. Specifically, you will depart from the Mt. Cook Airport, which is located just a five-minute drive from the village. As a result, you will spend more time in the air admiring the majestic Southern Alps.

Dual Aircraft Thrills and Glacial Views

To begin, you will soar high above the Tasman Valley to witness the breathtaking blue glacial lake from above. As you fly, you will see the famous Hochstetter Icefall and the cloud-piercing summit of Aoraki, Mount Cook. Furthermore, the highlight of the journey is a spectacular landing on the upper snowfields of the Tasman Glacier. Once you touch down, you can step out and enjoy the silence of this unique alpine environment. Consequently, you will have the rare opportunity to experience the glacier from the ground.

A Seamless Mountain Transition

After enjoying the snow, you will prepare for the second half of your Mount Cook Ultimate Alpine Experience. Specifically, you will change aircraft for your return journey. Because you fly in both a helicopter and a ski plane, you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Moreover, the transition between aircraft makes the trip even more memorable for aviation fans. Ultimately, this journey provides a birds-eye view of the stunning Lake Tekapo and Aoraki regions that few ever see.
