HTML-код

- Mueller Hut is often regarded as one of the best overnight hikes in New Zealand; but reaching the hut is no simple walk in the park.
The 10.5 KM return trip includes a demanding ascent of over 1000 meters in just ~5 KM; the challenge is part of the trek’s appeal.
Hikers will be rewarded with stunning views of the Hooker Valley, Aoraki/Mount Cook and the surrounding mountains.
Length: ~10.5 KM return
Duration: ~8 hours
Date walked: February 2022
Seasonal restrictions for the Mueller Hut:
November - April: Bookings are required.
May - November: Bookings are not required but fees still apply.

Gorgeous presentation! My old stomping grounds. I watched this for the memories , and wasn't disappointed! Loved the pairing of music and images. The lack of vocal input was appreciated!
Thanks for watching Sam and thank you for the support 🙏❤️
I so appreciate how well done your videos are! I am from Colorado, and saw this vid while planning my trip to New Zealand. My son and I knew right then we had to do this hike thanks to you two!!! We did this hike in April 2023 and although never got to see Mt. Cook due to clouds and drizzle it was amazing! Didn’t feel me legs for four days! Haha Thank you both!!!
Ah that's so awesome, you guys will have such a great time! If you can, look into spending a night in Hooker Hut within the park. It's along the Hooker Track and a very cute little hut. We've got a video on it as well
Let us know if you have any questions
Incredible. I loved this and hope to do it one day🙏
Highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed!
Spectaculer work guys.Finest music and magical views.❤️
Thank you Zahid 🙏❤️
Epic vid. Ive just booked a night in the hut for mid March. Had to toss up between this hike or the Copland track.
Both are amazing hikes, but this one is definitely easier to access and less time consuming 👍
Fark this should be a demo reel on OLED TV's, absolutely epic you 2!
This one turned out pretty good I thought!
Next video should be the first one shot on the GH6
Stunning video. What an experience!
One of the best in NZ ❤️
Amazing landscape! Also love the narrative. Your voice is very comforting to hear
Thank you, that is very kind 😊🙏
Thank you guys for this amazing video, so detail and with clear instructions that really give me lots of confidence for my hiking on this track on the coming Tuesday! ❤ NZ is so beautiful
Thank you ❤️🙏
Hopefully you get some decent weather for Tuesday. You'll have an amazing time!
Great imagery, beautiful area
Thank you Brian 🙏
Aced it again....beautifully shot! Another one for our NZ list. Thanks once again for continuing to share your adventures-we love watching them.
Thanks Alan!
Highly recommend Mount Cook National Park! The Hooker Valley + Sealy Tarns are great walks if you don't want to hike all the way up to Mueller Hut
beautiful video. one of the best hike in nz. absolutely love this route.
Definitely one of the best. The views are stunning!
OMG, truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words 😊🙏

It's gorgeous! Definitely a must do

Thank you Kerrilee 😊🙏❤️
The views were stunning!
Most satisfying video!
Thank you 🙏❤️
Amazing. Really enjoying your videos ❤️
Thank you Sumith🙏We really appreciate the support!
Nice.. we still have time to decide which one to go for.
Are you trying to decide between Mueller Hut and Hooker Valley? Both are great and you probably have time to do both! You can do Mueller Hut in a day, but that would be pretty rough on the legs, I reckon!
Thanks for the amazing video. I think I need to do some training if I want to be able to reach the Mueller Hut 😅
It's honestly not too bad, since most of the incline is via stairs, but definitely need to do a bit of training :)
Amazing quality! What kind of gear are you guys using?
Thanks Murky!
Using a Panasonic GH6 with 12-60mm f2.8-4 and GoPro Hero 10 as our cameras
Wow, thanks for this guys! How bad were the steeper bits/off trail scrambling after the staircase? Would you call it dangerous for the solo female hiker? at any point were there scary cliff edges with wild drop off points?
No scary cliff edges and believe it would be fine for a solo female hiker. It's steep after Sealy Tarns and right near the top it gets a bit shaley and loose, but nothing dangerous. It's a very popular trail with lots of people around. You should be fine 😊👍
Beautiful, even the music! What band is it? THANKS!
Thanks for watching!
We used the following music throughout the video:
- Voyagers by Adam Bokesch

- Galaxies by One Hundred Years

@@ChrisandDanya Thank You! :-) How kind of you to answer! I listened to all of them again and the last one brought tears to my eyes...Take care and much Love from Sweden!
We were quite happy with the music choices for this video, glad you enjoyed them 😊
thank you for sharing your experience, nice capture.
May I ask what month did you do this and what preparations did you done?
Planning for November 😅
We hiked this in February 2022.
If you're planning to do this in November, do you have mountaineering experience? There's a very high likely hood that there will still be very deep snow around and near Mueller Hut. I don't think the majority of the snow is gone until mid December, but it does change every year
Great vid . Can i ask if you a go pro or smart phone for recordimg? What mth was this?
This was hiked in February and we use a GoPro Hero 10 and Panasonic GH6
Awesome vid but, Ouraki?
I struggle with Maori pronunciation 😅
Who needs the Matterhorn when you have Mount Cook?
So true, such a beautiful area!
Nice video, may i know what're you filming equipment? do you bring a tripod stand up?
Hey Jason, thanks for watching!
I think for this video we were still using the Panasonic G9 w/ Leica 12-60mm f2.8-4 lens. We've since upgraded to the Panasonic GH6 and a few different lenses.
We do carry the Peak Design travel tripod (aluminium version). We also use a GoPro Hero 10 as a secondary camera
@@ChrisandDanya thanks for replying. Great travel video 😊
How much extra distance do you walk setting up and fetching your camera before/after shots like that finishing one?
Never calculated it to be honest! I don't think it's that much though. Maybe 10-40 meters or less each shot. I've been doing less tripod shots since it's easier to just film Danya haha 😅
Is the hut only for shelter or can one obtain provisions there?
Most huts have water + sleeping matt's, but you need to bring your own cooking gear, food, sleeping bag, etc.
You also have the option to tent around Mueller Hut
All the Great Walk huts include gas.
Some huts are free, some you have to pay for
Thanks, but too slow. Boo for use of a GoPro... the fish eye lens makes easy slopes look bold and precipitous. But a useful video for showing what might be expected. Sadly, the DOC seem to love to 'suburbanise' the wilderness.
That's interesting! I find the GoPro makes hard climbs look easy. I also tend to use the GoPro in Linear mode which flattens everything out and gets rid of the fisheye effect
Awesome video and amazing views!!! brings back memories of a challenging yet most rewarding tramp.
This was probably one of our favourite tramps in NZ. Always wanted to do it in winter, but don't have the gear/skills unfortunately
