Mt. Cook Village trip planner

Siting under towering peaks of New Zealand's highest mountain, Mt. Cook Village is surrounded by a national park--much of it a World Heritage area. A trip to Mt. Cook Village reveals one of the most stunning sceneries in New Zealand's South Island that features permanent snow, cloud-piercing mountain peaks, spectacular waterfalls, and dazzling glaciers all set beneath dark, star-spangled skies. A vacation in Mt. Cook Village is all about the mountains, and there are many ways to experience them, including walking, hiking, 4WD safaris, as well as boating and fishing on glacier-fed lakes. Soaring over the famous Southern Alps on a scenic helicopter flight is a great way to experience and access some of the area's more remote scenery. Mt. Cook Village is in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park (Te Wahipounamu). Our New Zealand online driving holiday planner allows you to plan your trip to Mt.
