Why a snow landing is a MUST on your Aoraki/Mount Cook Scenic Helicopter Flight

A scenic flight over the South Island’s Southern Alps is an incredible experience, but a snow landing takes it to a whole new level. For many guests, this isn't just a highlight of their trip; it's the moment that makes the entire journey unforgettable.

Mackenzie Helicopter’s scenic flights are designed to connect you to the heart of the South Island, and a snow landing is the ultimate way to do that. After an awe-inspiring flight over jagged peaks and iconic landscapes, your pilot will find the perfect spot to land. As the rotors slow and the magnificent machine comes to rest, you'll step out onto a pristine blanket of snow with 360-degree mountains views surrounding you.

The first thing you'll notice is the silence. It’s a profound and humbling quiet, broken only by the wind. With the immense Southern Alps beneath your feet and the peaks of Aoraki/Mount Cook looking straight at you, you'll have a chance to take in the sheer scale of this alpine environment. This isn't just a photo opportunity; it's a moment to truly appreciate the power and beauty of nature.
