Winter Scenic Drive to Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand 4K

This was one of the best driving experiences I have had in this beautiful part of New Zealand. On 14 July 2022, I spent almost an hour touring NZ state Hi-way 8 and NZ State Highway 80. After a day of dumping of snow (12 July) I was so blessed to finally see blue skies and the stunning alps New Zealand's South Island had to offer.
The road to Mount Cook starts just outside of Twizel. It takes around 45 minutes to reach Mount Cook Village, but you'll probably spend longer on the journey because you'll enjoy the scenery around you. The road is fairly straight and easy to drive, although you may need chains if it has snowed recently.
Aoraki Mount Cook is the tallest mountain in New Zealand, and as such, is seriously impressive. There are tons of beautiful walks and hikes to do in Mount Cook National Park that lead to stunning viewpoints of Mount Cook and nearby glaciers.
Thank you for watching. Enjoy the ride with me in the comfort of your living room. To appreciate more the beauty of this video, you should use 4k/ TV resolutions.

Did you start at Twizel for this drive?

[@Ahmad-Shawkat]

What a ride ! Well done !
What time of the year was that ?
We don’t get that much of clear skies and sunshine in Auckland !

[@FernzDrive]

I took this video in July, yes it s winter. And this was 2days after a snowstorm, luckily I had a great weather that day. Thanks for viewing 😊

[@kristiefitzpatrick8528]

Look stunning. Did you use snow chains? Was the road slippery at all.?

[@FernzDrive]

Hi Kristie I didn't use snow chains. Road not slippery. Snow swept to the side. Just drive to condition.
Thanks for viewing
Have a great day 😊

[@shengjie8899]

Great video! i will be visiting during the winter.
As i am completely new to driving in snow conditions, may i seek your guidance on when should i equip the snow chains?

[@FernzDrive]

Hi Sheng Jie, you don't need to put snow chains on this kind of road condition, unless you're going up the mountains. Thanks for viewing. Have a great day😊

[@RohitGupta-io1hl]

Wow. Which month of the year in winters is the best to see the snow and yet drive upto mt cook village ?

[@FernzDrive]

Hi Rohit
This video was taken in July two days after a snowstorm. You can try in the same month but a little bit tricky. Thanks for viewing😊

[@shakeeliqbal5285]

Did you need snow chains ?
