Southern Alps Rising above New Zealand's coastline in snow-capped peaks, the massive Southern Alps traverse the length of the South Island. Host Chris Turner journeys into the heart of this range to attempt the kiwi-designed sport of heli-biking.
At the base of Mount Cook, the country's tallest mountain, Chris paddles a glacial lake, and then heads to the kitchen for hearty dishes of lamb with potato roulade and farm-raised venison with local yams.
