Franz Josef Ice Hiking Area

Franz Josef Ice Hiking Area

The Franz Josef Ice Hiking Area provides one of New Zealand's most extraordinary adventure experiences — guided walks on the Franz Josef Glacier's crevassed icefields, accessible by helicopter from the valley floor. Cramponing across blue ice, peering into deep crevasses, and navigating ice caves in guided small groups is an exhilarating and otherworldly experience. The helicopter approach over the glacier's tumbled icefalls provides stunning aerial perspectives on this dynamic landscape.
