This national park is home to the highest mountains and the largest glaciers in New Zealand. It has 19 peaks more than 3000 metres high, including Aoraki/Mount Cook which is a sky-scraping 3754 metres tall. The road to the park runs along the Tasman Valley beside Lake Pukaki, which is fabulously blue due to the glacier-ground rock particles that are suspended in its waters. At the end of the valley you'll find Mount Cook village and the most amazing alpine scenery you can imagine.
