I've flown fixed wing from Mt Cook to Fox, it's more expensive then heli up from Fox and harder to do in average weather. Public transport from chch to Fox is possible, but a long wait on the changeover at Greymouth.
If you do go in from Mt Cook Village, a great trip is to fly in to Fox, do some climbs there before heading across to Centennial for some more climbing there, then walk back to the village via Graham Saddle and Tasman Glacier. This last part can be broken up at De La Beche hut or Ball Hut. |
