The Ultimate Winter Destination

Winter in the Mt Cook Mackenzie region will take your breath away!

Experience a diverse range of ski conditions ideal for beginners through to expert skiers. Choose from three unique snow fields or ski New Zealand's longest glacier, the Tasman Glacier or try heli-skiing some of the remotest mountain slopes on the Southern Alps.

Ice skate under the stars or take a dip in the hot pools at Lake Tekapo and the clear winter days are perfect for scenic flights and the nights for spectacular star gazing.

There is a wide variety of accommodation options on offer through the winter season to suit all budgets and groups.
