Perched high above the ice, Chancellor Hut offers a truly unforgettable alpine experience as the oldest hut still on its original site in the Southern Alps. Getting here is an adventure in itself, requiring a scenic helicopter flight or a challenging multi-day trek across the Fox Glacier, but the reward is immense. From this rustic 12-bunk shelter, you'll witness breathtaking panoramas of some of New Zealand's highest peaks and the distant Tasman Sea, making it a perfect base for mountaineering or simply soaking in the raw beauty of the mountains.
