Fly over the Franz Josef or Fox Glacier up to 6000 ft. and land on the snow. Exceptional views of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. A very popular quick snapshot of our beautiful landscape.
20 minute helicopter flight and snow landing (where possible)
Check-in time is 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
CHECK IN – 12.30 in the Alpine Adventures Centre 29 Main Road Franz Josef
Please note: Snow landings are subject to weather conditions and are at the pilot’s discretion. Weight and age are required to be provided at time of booking
Essential gear for snow landings:
Sunglasses
Covered shoes (sneakers or trainers are fine) or hiking boots
Wear comfortable outdoor clothing suitable for wearing on the snow. Occasionally the temperature can be 5-10 degrees cooler on the snow than it is in the village. Check with our ground crew if you are unsure of what to wear.
Please note that we do not allow passengers to take iPads on the flights as they can impede the view of the pilot and other passengers. You’re very welcome to bring along another means of taking your photos (phone, camera or GoPro are all great).
