Mueller Hut

Mueller Hut is one of those places I have had on my to do lists for soo long.

I think I got a bit too focussed on doing the great walks and other multi-day hikes around the South Island and I wish I had come up here sooner! It’s hard to put into words precisely how breathtaking this spot is. The glaciers, towering peaks and dramatic valleys make you feel really small and spending the night in a bright red and surprisingly comfortable and modern hut is the cherry on top.

It’s also a relatively short 2.5-4hr trip each way (depending on fitness and weather!) which further adds to its value.
