Discover Twizel Your Gateway
to Alpine Adventure!
Twizel
Twizel is the largest town in New Zealand’s rugged Mackenzie Country. Founded in the 1960s as a temporary base for hydroelectric workers, it has evolved into a popular hub for outdoor enthusiasts. Located just 45 minutes south of Mount Cook Village, the town serves as a convenient and cost-effective basecamp for exploring Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. Its proximity to dramatic mountain ranges and glacial lakes makes it an excellent stopover for stargazers, hikers, and landscape photographers.
