Mt Cook Village is perfectly positioned to take advantage of some of the most stunning scenery in
Australasia. For those who are bold enough to foray further up the mountainscape, the Department of
Conservation Visitor Centre offers a full range of information and advice. Within the Mackenzie
Basin lies Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park with 140 peaks over 2000m high. This includes Australasia's
highest mountain, Aoraki/Mount Cook, at 3754m. The Mackenzie is also home to the Tasman Glacier, the
longest in the southern hemisphere. Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park covers over 70,000ha of
breathtaking alpine scenery, preserved in its natural state for visitors to enjoy. Tussock
grassland, huge river valleys, endless high country, stunning turquoise blue lakes and awe-inspiring
mountains surround the Mackenzie Basin. The Park can be viewed by walks, tramps (guides are
available) or by skiplanes and helicopters. Climbing, thar (goat-like mammal) hunting, glacier
trips, guided nature walks, 4WD safaris and glacier skiing are other options. The world's highest
freshwater salmon farm is located nearby - take a self guided farm tour and feed the fish.
