Mueller Hut is a fantastic overnight trip out from the Mt Cook village. About four hours drive from Christchurch. Our trip was over the Easter long weekend, which turned out to be a great time to visit. Sitting at the hut and watching the clouds roll over glaciers and mountains and listening to distant avalanches is not a bad way to spend a sunny afternoon. This is the 5th reincarnation of the hut, that opened in 2003.
