The Helicopter Line (Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier)
The Helicopter Line operates two bases on the West Coast of the South Island in the villages of Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier, each located at the foot of their namesakes. The rugged West Coast is hemmed between the Tasman Sea and the imposing Southern Alps, making for spectacular contrast in the surrounding scenery. The landscape changes from the wild beaches of the Tasman Sea and the lush native rainforests, to the harsh but beautiful forms of the mighty glaciers marked with ice caves, pinnacles and seracs. Above these glaciers rise the soaring peaks of the Southern Alps and towering Aoraki/Mount Cook. A scenic flight is the ideal way to explore this largely inaccessible alpine region. For the adventurous, The Helicopter Line offers the unique opportunity to get close to the glaciers on the famous Franz Josef Heli Hike.
