![]() This means there are more people flying onto the glaciers than ever before. ![]() As there is no longer the option to walk directly up to a glacier for glacier hiking anywhere in New Zealand, the only way to hike on a glacier is by helicopter. Flying into Fox or Franz Josef is fun, but it’s quite quick in comparison to the Tasman flight. The helicopter flight up to the Tasman Glacier is around 10 minutes, you get a full view of Mt Cook Village, the Tasman Glacier Terminal Lake and Aoraki/Mount Cook, as well as the glacier itself from terminal moraine to the higher ice fields. It’s true that both Fox and Franz Josef glaciers flow down from the same mountains, but due to the topography you don’t have the same views from them.
