Relaxed yet luxurious, the Chalet has power, a hot shower and large windows framing astounding views of Mount Cook and Mount Aspiring with its tumbling glaciers.
This exclusive alpine venue and it’s surrounding adventures can be enjoyed year round by friends, families and small groups. For four months of the year the area is covered in snow, making it the ideal base for ski-touring or heli skiing.
In summer the slopes of tussock grass are dotted with wild flowers and tarns offering a range of fantastic hiking routes, catering for all abilities.
Tailor your own Chalet experience – from a short day trip with a relaxing lunch and a glass of wine on the balcony, to multi night accommodation with action packed alpine adventures.
Celebrate your wedding or special event – the Whare Kea Chalet offers something for everyone.
