New Zealand's Highest Peak (Aoraki/Mount Cook)

If you love nature, enjoy hiking and photography, or simply want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, **Aoraki/Mount Cook Village** is definitely worth a visit! Here, you'll find not only New Zealand's highest peak, Aoraki/Mount Cook, but also magnificent glaciers, lakes, and a variety of hiking trails, allowing you to experience the breathtaking beauty of nature firsthand. 1. Magnificent Mountain and Glacier Views Aoraki/Mount Cook stands tall at 3,724 meters, the highest peak in the Southern Alps. From here, as far as the eye can see, there are continuous snow-capped mountains, and stunning scenery everywhere. You can see the spectacular Tasman Glacier, and in winter, you can even try glacier hiking or heli-skiing to experience the charm of the ice and snow world. 2. World-Class Hiking Trails Hooker Valley Track: One of the most popular trails, approximately 10 km (round trip), passing swing bridges and glacial lakes, ultimately reaching the best viewpoint to admire Aoraki/Mount Cook. Suitable for all fitness levels, the scenery is stunning, especially for taking photos! Kea Point Track: A short walk, only 1 hour to reach the viewing platform, suitable for visitors with limited time. Sealy Tarns Track: Known as the "2,000 steps track," although challenging, it offers a bird's-eye view of Aoraki/Mount Cook and the surrounding lakes, with absolutely stunning scenery.
