Mount Cook and Southern Lakes
From the Hermitage airstrip, Mount Cook Airservices Ltd provides a unique and thrilling service. Their skilled pilots, flying efficient ski-equipped planes take visitors, young and old, by plane into the heart of the high peaks. The aircraft land high up in the mighty snowfields which feed the spectacular glaciers of the Mount Cook National Park. Not long ago only the highly trained climber or skier saw this glorious region and then only after arduous and often hazardous climbing. To fly in comfort through the mountains and above the Tasman and Fox Glaciers and land in this gleaming wonderland of snow is a never-to-be-forgotten experience.
This Kowhai Gold booklet also featured Mount Cook, the Mount Cook National Park, the Hermitage hotel, Lake Wanaka and the delights of the Queenstown region.
