FOX GLACIER VALLEY E-BIKE & HIKE
About
Explore the untamed natural wilderness of the Fox Glacier Valley, tracing the steps of a retreating glacier, with our Fox Glacier Valley E-Bike & Hike.
Ride through ancient podocarp rainforest on E-bikes and hike a secret track. Grab stunning photos of the Fox Glacier that is sure to impress family and friends.
Leaving Fox Glacier Village on E-bikes, enjoy the flowing cycleway.
After making easy work up the hills on your E-bike, we’ll park them up and on-foot, slowly gain height as we find our way up Mills Creek past Cone Rock and pass New Zealand’s largest active landslip.
Our high point is a viewpoint with the closest views of the terminal face of the Fox Glacier.
We return the same way back to the bikes and enjoy the descent back to the village.
Along the way, your guide will share with you the local natural history and fascinating stories of explorers past. They will coach you with how to use the E-bike equipment and fit you out with walking boots and raincoats.
