Mount Tutoko Mount Tutoko is the highest peak in Darran Mountains in Fiordland National Park, in southwest New Zealand. It lies between the lower Hollyford Valley and Milford Sound at the head of Tutoko River, 15 kilometres due north of the Homer Tunnel, and rises to a height of 2,723 metres above sea level. This peak is the highest in Fiordland and supports permanent snow fields and several large hanging glaciers, the largest of which are the Donne and Age. Two subsidiary summits (9,030 ft and 9,020 ft) lie immediately south of the main peak, which is joined to the south-east by Mount Madeline. Access is most commonly gained from the head of the Tutoko River via some part of the Age Glacier. It also is in close proximity to the Tasman Sea and its accompanying coastal weather patterns. The Tutoko Valley was first visited in the 1890s. Although not an accessible tourist attraction, Mount Tutoko presents a magnificent view from the Tutoko Bridge on the Te Anau-Milford road. Lush rainforest surrounds the mountain and the climbing routes are remote, interesting and technical.
