Mueller Hut Route: Alpine Tramping (Hiking) Series | New Zealand

The Mueller Hut Route is one of the more advanced alpine tramps (hikes) in the Aoraki/Mount Cook Region and offers stunning scenery of the mountainous landscape. The Mueller Hut Route takes you 11.8km straight up and back down the other side of the Sealy Range, climbing a total of 1000m in elevation. Since the whole tramp is in alpine terrain, there are a few things you need to be aware of before heading out. In this video we will take you along the track and show you how to prepare for a successful trip and make it home safely.

I’ve never done any hiking in my life, but I am currently bingeing on all of these videos and imagining all the possibilities. They are really informative and well made and showing off all of the beauty of Aotearoa New Zealand. With warm regards from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Did this in January a few years back. Ended up arriving after dark. Definitely not recommended but the full moon light reflecting off the glacier lake and the pink hue of Aoraki as the sun set was beautiful beyond comparison. One of the top 5 moments of my life rounding the corner at the top. I will remember that moment as one of the best for the rest of my life.

This is great information! We have done this hike twice. The first time, we had to turn back because of the weather. The second time, we made it all the way to the hut. It is unbelievably beautiful up there!! We loved it SO much!! After you book the hut, you have to check in at the visitor's center the day of your stay to obtain the ticket for the hut.

I did this one in January 2022, perfect sunny weather with no cloud and hardly a breath of wind. There was quite a bit of snow still present at the top. It's hard but spectacular, easily the best tramp I've done in Aotearoa! Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great video. One of the best informative videos I've seen with information and routes. Very nicely done.

Stayed in the hut last summer. The view was breath taking! Climbing down the rocky route with jelly legs was no joke though

Awesome video! Been up there about 9 times now, would love to see a video in french ridge hut!

So excited to go on my first Great Walk!!!

Awesome video! I did the track in March 2019, there was already bit of snow covering the track.. For one day trip, it is actually quite challenging for average hiker. Some of the sections are not the easiest ones, but the views are amazing.

Thank you for making informative video :)

Beautiful video, great tips! LOVE this channel!

The track up to the Sealy Tarns is pretty easy, really. Will have to go up to the hut sometime, but got Tappy and Te Ao Whekere to do next. Should be fun.

A few years ago I returned on the half way to Müller hut, because of the steep stair. I`s no good in condition.

Did this walk late December 2018 and from 4:30 all the way to the hut was all snowed up. Pretty doable on tramping boots but bring sunglasses as the glare can be unbearable.

[davidsenoner]

I was thinking to do the walk around October 30th. Any recommendations on the possible conditions I may find?

[junosaisquois]

Hi! I might've missed the info about how is it going back? Do you take the same route as going up or there is a different one? Thank you! :)
