Let's see the snow scenery in Mount Cook together!

1. The helicopter + hiking tour of Mount Cook, New Zealand was definitely one of the most stunning experiences of my travel life! I want to share this super detailed guide with you. Are you ready to embark on this fantastic adventure? 2. Itinerary Arrive at the helicopter company 30–60 mins in advance to check in, receive a safety briefing, get weighed, and have your seats assigned. During the flight, you can see the continuous mountains of Mount Cook, crystal-clear glaciers, deep glacial lakes, and you may even have the chance to see avalanches. The scenery is super stunning. 3. Start hiking after landing: Professional guides will explain geological and ecological knowledge. Hiking routes vary in difficulty. Beginners can choose easy short routes, while experienced hikers can challenge themselves with more difficult ones. After the hike, enjoy a light meal in the nearby rest area to replenish your energy. 4. Return trip: Continue hiking or take a helicopter back. Enjoy the beautiful scenery again on the way back, bringing a perfect end to this trip. 5. Packing list Clothing: Waterproof and windproof jacket, warm fleece jacket, warm trousers, hiking boots, warm hat, gloves, and scarf. 6. Other: Sunscreen (SPF 50+), sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, lip balm, water bottle (filled with water), energy bars, high-energy snacks such as chocolate, backpack, and camera. 7. Photography guide During the flight: Window seats are the best for taking photos. You can take panoramic photos of the mountains and ground details during takeoff and landing. Capture the unique textures of glaciers and glacial lakes during the flight. During the hike: Take photos of people with the snowy mountains at viewing platforms with open views. 8. Important notes Health conditions: Consult your doctor and the helicopter company in advance if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or other medical conditions. This activity is not recommended for pregnant women. Weather changes: The weather on Mount Cook is changeable, and the itinerary may be canceled or rescheduled due to bad weather. Allow for flexibility in your schedule. Environmental protection requirements: Follow the "Leave No Trace" principle when hiking, do not leave any garbage, and do not damage the natural environment. Traveling here is very nice.
