    Very worthwhile! The steps were icy so can you really feel the glacier:) Recommend to walk down the lake and river on the moraine ridges and drink and splash yourself with the magic water.

    Short walk but steep. Quite a few stairs to the top about 15 minutes. A magnificent view of the Tasman glacier, its lake and the surrounding peaks.

    Nice short walk to a viewing platform of the lake and blue pools (note: not blue anymore but green!) Took us 30 mins total at a leisurely pace.

    Nice walk to the blue lakes and Tasman Glacier lookout. If the clouds lift, the view of Mt. Cook and numerous other peaks is superb.

    The walk to the Tasman Glacier view was by far the best one. 341 steps at my count but easy enough 10 min climb up

    Very beautiful! About 30 ish mins return from car park to lookout. Be prepared, quite a few stairs. Hubby wore his slides/thongs with no issue. Easy trek for the views! Must do if you are leaving mt cook np!

    Plusieurs promenades possibles, notamment vers les blue lakes et vers le glacier. Randonnée assez plate mais émerveillement garanti si vous pouvez vous rendre au glacier qui engendre le grand lac (plusieurs sentiers se mélangent).
