Mount Cook Heli-Skiing
The birth place of Heli-skiing in New Zealand. In 1974 Glentanner Station and Alpine Guides pioneered helicopter skiing for New Zealand. Mount Cook Heliski is the ultimate powder snow experience, still professionally guided by Alpine Guides and flown by The Helicopter Line.
Heli-flights leave from Glentanner Park for this incredible day out.
Mount Cook Heliski . The Powder + The Glory
Our heliski area is a wilderness of ancient glaciers, azure lakes, and endless runs - across 6 mountain ranges. Mount Cook Heliski has runs to suit all levels of heli-ski ability. We have exclusive terrain in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.
We fly with small groups and focus on safety, and great Kiwi service. We don’t claim to the biggest, just the best heliski operator in New Zealand - and an antidote to the crowded Queenstown scene.
Mount Cook Heliski is professionally guided by Alpine Guides and flown by The Helicopter Line.
