There’s a moment when the helicopter lifts from the valley floor, and the familiar world slips away. Below you, rivers wind through the Matukituki Valley, and ahead — the rugged Harris Mountains open like a secret only the lucky get to see. This is the Black Peak Backcountry Escape: four days of pure alpine freedom, where each turn is carved into untouched snow and each sunrise feels earned.
Your journey begins in Wānaka, with a short flight into a remote mountain hut overlooking Treble Cone and Mount Aspiring. Days are spent touring the slopes of Black Peak — chasing powder across vast ridges, the Greenstone Trails, and the Rollercoaster runs. Some mornings start with a heli-drop straight to your first descent; others with the quiet rhythm of skins climbing toward a sunlit summit. Evenings bring warmth, laughter, and the kind of silence that only exists high in the Southern Alps.
No ski lifts, no crowds — just you, your guide, and endless white terrain. Travel by helicopter, sleep in a secluded alpine hut, and explore New Zealand’s most striking backcountry. Join us on Black Peak and rediscover what freedom on snow really means!
