Local Heroes | Guiding at Mount Cook

Climb the peaks close to Mt Cook Village with Alpine Guides' "Local Heroes" guided mountaineering package. Little or no climbing experience is required. Bring a friend and spend 5 days reaching new heights in New Zealand's best alpine playground...

Big peaks for a limited time investment

Local Heroes is a 5 or 6 day guiding package, with several mountain objectives, for one or 2 participants per guide.

A range of technical difficulties provide challenges for beginner, through to intermediate level mountaineers.

Peaks Include:

Guilt free, walk-in and out package

With all mountain travel on foot the trip cost is kept to a minimum - plus there's no guilt about generating unnecessary CO2.
