What you can expect
The ancient icefalls of breathtaking glaciers and an alpine snow landing combine for one of the most visually stunning "wintery" experiences in the **Queenstown** region with this **scenic helicopter flight** that will showcase amazing views of the majestic **Southern Alps** and Aspiring National Park. After witnessing the incredible spectacle of this ruggedly beautiful mountainous region, you'll take part in the unforgettable experience of an alpine snow landing as you stand upright in the pure white snow while surrounded by the stunning mountain peaks.
Some of the main highlights you'll witness during the flight - that make for postcard-perfect photo opportunities - include amazing views of Mt Asipiring, the northern shores of lovely Lake Wakatipu, valleys blanketed in native bush, the mighty Dart River and Rees valleys, and so much more. This helicopter flight - dubbed the "Southern Glacier Experience" - will give you only the best that such a brilliant alpine environment can offer.
