Helicopter journeys through alpine scenery

A scenic helicopter flight over the Humboldt Mountains offers a perspective few travellers get to enjoy. Snow-dusted peaks stretch as far as the eye can see, creating a mesmerising contrast with the lush valleys below. Each turn of the flight reveals new angles of Glenorchy’s incredible landscapes.

The highlight comes when the helicopter gently lands on a pristine snowfield high in the mountains. From here, you’ll have time to step out and soak up panoramic views that stretch across the Southern Alps. It’s the perfect chance to take photos and truly appreciate the scale of New Zealand’s alpine beauty.

A memorable alpine adventure

This experience is more than just a flight – it’s a chance to connect with nature in its most dramatic form. The snow landing offers a peaceful pause, surrounded by silence broken only by the crunch of snow underfoot. Few places in the world offer such a unique combination of serenity and grandeur.

Heli Glenorchy’s Alpine Snow Landing is also one of the most popular options for visitors. The blend of scenic flying and time on the snow creates lasting memories of New Zealand’s wild landscapes. Whether you’re chasing adventure or simply breathtaking views, this experience delivers both.
