Waimakariri Falls Hut, I think. Had to research it, looks very remote.

Correct John. DOC list it on their website as a biv/free which is very misleading, it's actually a CMC hut at $10/night (or it was when I was there last year). Sits at the head of an amazing valley above a waterfall, with lots of Keas. I approached from Waimakariri Col direction to avoid it being an up and back trip. I saw a lot of huts on that trip, this was one of my favourites

I've only ever driven past, but I'm guessing Te Moeka o Tuawe (AKA Fox Glacier)

You read the clue well Last. Interesting Maori legend. Yes this is the walk up the valley towards the terminal face of the glacier, a little obscured on the distant left.

Thanks John, I wouldn't have got it without the clue, although I have been there (I think) in the '70's. Next, Europe. Where have so many people lost their hats?

Quickly jumping back to NZ, where can you find these distinct rock formations.

Yes, but I'll need you to be more specific. This area has a particular name.

I'll need to let someone who has been there finish it. I have no idea.

Hint. The valley shares its name with a nearby hut.

Refuge des Mottets in the Valley of Glaciers, just south of Mont Blanc, below Glasacier Needle and the Seigne Mountain Pass?
