Active Adventure

TEKAPO TREK: Moderate hiking: Climb high above Lake Tekapo to a private mountain hut, and climb the 2070m Beuzenberg Peak. Take in the grand views of the Southern Alps and enjoy the solitude of the high country. Snowshoeing option in winter.

BALL PASS TREK: Challenging trekking: Climb 850m from the Tasman Glacier to the private Caroline Hut, opposite the awesome Caroline Ice Face of Aoraki Mount Cook. Learn how to use crampons and ice-axe and climb an easy peak. Cross a small glacier and Ball Pass then descend to Mount Cook Village via the lush Hooker Valley. Previous hiking and backpacking experience essential.

Typical Day

Ball Pass or Aoraki Mt Cook Trek:
8am gear check at our office, 30 Murray Place, Lake Tekapo.
Travel to Mount Cook (about 1 hour), and the end of the Tasman Glacier. Hike up the old Ball Hut Road, parallel to the glacier. From Ball Shelter, climb 850m up the Ball Ridge to our private Caroline Hut at 1800m/6000ft, perched right opposite the awe-inspiring Caroline Face of Mount Cook. The panorama includes Aoraki Mount Cook and Mount Tasman, all the mountains adjoining the Tasman Glacier, and Lake Pukaki.
As the hut is fully stocked we only need to carry some fresh items of food and our personal clothing and equipment. 4-6 hours trekking.
