Bad luck at Fox Glacier (NZL)

Eldonita: 13.11.2019

The Fox Glacier is another glacier located about 30 km from the Franz Josef Glacier. The Fox Glacier is one of the few glaciers that ends in the rainforest. I wanted to see that.

However, one day before my arrival, I found out that the hiking trail there is currently closed (and has been for a while).

Too bad, but near Fox Glacier Village there is another beautiful attraction - Lake Matheson. In this lake, Mt. Cook is reflected (in good weather). Of course, I also studied the weather forecast here and chose the period with the lowest probability of rain.

It is 6 km from the village to the lake, so I set off in cloudy but dry weather. Unfortunately, it started drizzling just before I reached the lake (and it didn't stop). I walked around the lake hoping it would get better - but the hope was in vain. Mt. Cook did not show itself :(

Lake Matheson


The best part of the trip was the cappuccino at the café there. Because it also rained on the way back.
