The Helicopter Line's Mount Cook base operates from Glentanner Park, situated only 15 minutes drive from the Aoraki/Mount Cook Village and 20 minutes along State Highway 80 after turning off State Highway 8 between Christchurch and Queenstown. Glentanner Park is situated within a genuine, working high-country sheep station located in an idyllic setting at the base of New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki/Mount Cook. The surrounding scenery varies from the glacier fed Lake Pukaki and the surrounding rugged high-country landscape to the soaring peaks and mighty glaciers of the Southern Alps. The Helicopter Line provides a range of scenic flights that venture into this alpine wonderland and offer you the privileged view that are otherwise reserved for the most adventurous mountain climber.
