Your experience of this alpine station begins on your 20-minute helicopter flight to this backcountry outpost in the Southern Alps taking you over the deep-blue waters of Lake Wanaka, across tussock grasslands and forests of beech, and up to the head of a glacier-carved valley where New Zealand’s first luxury tented lodge sits above a braided alpine stream.
Things you can do: When not soaking up the Tolkienesque splendor of the setting, guests can go on hiking adventures, tour Minaret Station’s farm—home to some 10,000 deer, 7,000 sheep, and 1,000 cattle—picnic on mountaintops, or hop back in the helicopter for fly-fishing outings or way-off-piste skiing, depending on the season.
