Fantastic High Alpine Peaks - Right on our Doorstep

If you have only limited time, there a number of excellent peaks within a stone's throw of Mt Cook Village. Why travel any further?

With 5 or 6 days available you have a number of objectives, offering a range of technical difficulty. There's something here for most levels of alpine experience, right from beginner climbers.

Low cost, guilt free, walk-in & out package

With no air access needed the overall cost is kept to a minimum - plus there's no guilt about generating unnecessary CO2.
