A walk to remember: Franz Josef Glacier offers guided climbs for visitors

Region: Franz Josef Glacier

Located high in the Southern Alps and deep into the lush rainforest of Westland’s Tai Poutini National Park, Franz Josef Glacier is the world’s steepest and fastest-flowing commercially-guided glacier. Here you can witness the dramatic and dynamic scenery with a Glacier Valley Walk, running alongside the mighty Waiho River bed.
