Aoraki / Mount Cook

At 3754 metres, New Zealand’s highest mountain Aoraki-Mount Cook in the Mount Cook National Park is only four and a half hours drive from Christchurch. This area offers many attractions including rewarding walks of varying difficulty, scenic flights, glacier lake exploration and more.

The Hermitage offers luxury accommodation and as a tribute to Sir Edmond Hillary, humanitarian, ambassador and one of the world’s greatest explorers, the Sir Edmond Hillary Alpine Centre showcases the Aoraki-Mount Cook region, it’s people and its place in the universe.
