Snow Landing
Glacier Helicopter Adventures – High-Alpine Magic Made Accessible
Take to the skies and explore one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s stunning West Coast glaciers, or soar to the top of the country’s largest glacier in the Southern Alps. Your pilot will choose the best spot for a breathtaking snow landing on the day.
Makingtrax partners with two key locations for glacier access: Mount Cook Airport offering both helicopter and ski plane options. - Franz Josef Township, featuring helicopter flights and a ski-chair to move easily on the snow. We also organise personalised scenic helicopter tours from Queenstown.
Trips are generally easy, though transferring into the helicopter can sometimes be challenging. Our partners will assist as much as possible, and every trip is personalised in advance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.
All flights are managed through Makingtrax to ensure the experience is adapted to your needs. To help us prepare, please include detailed information about you, your abilities, and your support team when making an enquiry.
