We really enjoyed our walk on the Hooker Valley Track and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a relatively easy walk. It's about 5 km in each direction, and the walk ends at a attractive lake wi… Full review by peterjg200

Gorgeous views, amazing glacial lake, cross 3 bridges over rivers, a memorable experience! The trail is kept up well, and the hike is moderate with little elevation gain. Full review by Treya W

This walk was 10km return but so worth it. It is just a 'wow' walk all the way up to the glacier lake. We had beautiful weather. Bring some food/water to have once you reach the end. The scenery is j… Full review by toddsC2530VM
Hi all, we are struggling to decide which month to visit Mount Cook and Queenstown. Which month has best views and Snow capped mountains ? April or October? We were in Queenstown December 2019. Queenstown looked amazing ,summery and nice! But not a hint of snow on the mountains. Thanks in advance for your suggestions :) Aleena

Hi 121nicola, I visited the valley on the 11th of January. There was actually snow block in the river near the base of Mt. Cook. Depending on what sort of "challenge" you are happy to tackle, the weather in the valley could change quite quickly. If you check out the Hooker Valley website, they will give you most of what you need to know. Walking in and out for a day trip is quite achievable, of course weather permitting. If you want a lot more snow covered mountain, maybe December? I am guessing that the colder months would have more foggy days, but I could be so wrong. Just remember if it is windy, crossing the three bridges could be challenging, especially for young children. Hope this help
