About Aoraki/Mount Cook
Aoraki/Mount Cook, at 3,724 metres, is New Zealand's highest mountain, rising above the small village where the Hooker Valley meets the Tasman Valley in Canterbury. Weather sweeps in from the Tasman Sea, so the peak can be hidden for days and then clear in an hour. These Aoraki/Mount Cook webcams come from Alpine Guides, the mountain guiding company based in the village since 1966.
Which Aoraki/Mount Cook webcam to check first
Start with the base camera for Aoraki itself, with Mount Sefton, The Footstool and Mount Wakefield alongside. The Mount Cook Airport camera faces north up the range and the Tasman Valley, useful before a scenic flight.
Before you go to Aoraki/Mount Cook
Check the MetService national park forecast and the Department of Conservation track alerts before you go; the road in is long and fuel and food in the village are limited.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
