Built in 1950, Almer Hut is situated at the top of Franz Josef Glacier.
Originally erected in 1912 at Cape Defiance, this hut is now at the Franz Josef Visitor Centre.
Chancellor Hut played an important role in the development of mountaineering, ski mountaineering and tramping in Westland National Park.
The oldest building on the West Coast is being brought back to life by DOC and the Ōkārito community.
Hendes Hut was built by Peter Hende for use while he formed the wrought iron standards to support Hendes Gallery. Since then it has served as a shelter for walkers on the Roberts Track.
Built to provide a tourist route across the Southern Alps, the Copland is still a popular tramping track today.
