Above Mueller Glacier, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park
Mount Cook National Park is a top spot for spectacular alpine scenery. All but one of its 29 peaks is over 3000m, so the park has become New Zealand's mountain climbing mecca. Non-climbers can enjoy a selection of challenging alpine walks – from the one hour Red Tarns stair-climb to the relatively flat hike to Kea Point.
