Fox Glacier Travel Guide
Best time to go
As Mount Cook is so high, it often tends to ‘hide’ in the clouds, but you can visit year round. At any time of year you can see snow on the mountain, however the snow only tends to be lower down the mountain in early spring, late autumn and winter. Similarly, you can visit Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers year round, as unlike glacier regions of the northern hemisphere, temperatures are fairly mild – ranging from around 10-21ºC in summer and from 2-12ºC in winter.
Travel Information
Fox Glacier is around 30 minutes drive south of Franz Josef, approximately 2 hours 30 minutes drive from Hokitika.
