MOUNTAINEERING FEAT WOULD AWE HILLARY!
No fewer than 17 of New Zealand's mountains are higher than 10.000 ft, but you could look from every one of the majestic peaks in the course of a single day. The feat would be possible because these cloud-piercing giants are all grouped in the general area of the Southern Alps around Mount Cook and its famous Hermitage, from whose grounds a unique aerial sight-seeing service operates, using ski-shod cabin planes. More than one veteran traveller has accounted these flights, with their nonchalant glacier landings, the highlight of a world tour. These same people rate the magnificent 90-room Hermitage, with its breath-taking views and luxurious comfort, one of the very best Alpine resorts in the world! Only one hour from Christchurch by air, or at the end of a rewarding road trip through magnificent scenery, the Hermitage is an exciting experience no New Zealander should miss. Summer or winter, it’s wise to book with the hotel direct, or through your travel agent —Advt
