I daytripped for Milford Sound and it was very gray and had poor visibility.
I like the mountains around Queenstown and Lake Wanaka. Not tall but very distinctive.
Also the mountains around Kaikoura, which recently suffered a big earthquake.
I want to go up to Banff an Moraine Lake but I found frequent flier tickets to Europe this summer and early fall so taking advantage of those. However, NY Times recommends Canada as the top place to visit this year because it's their 150th anniversary and all the national parks have free admission this year.
I don't think I would ever get tired of mountain views and lakes. I've been researching the Tyrol area of Austria as well as around Salzburg, Wolfgangsee and Hallstatt.
Incredible the number of UNESCO World Heritage in Western Austria and they all have cable cars and cog wheel trains. I'm going to spend a small fortune on them in a two-week period, if the weather holds up, that is. It's amusing a lot of the tourist sites have recommedations for what to do on rainy days because it rains so much there. But the main attractions are outdoors of course.
I chose Austria instead of Engadin, Switzerland, figuring the Euro would be more favorable to the Dollar than the Swiss Franc. Also figured hotels and food are generally more expensive in Switzerland.
However, I'm not so sure that's the case. In the Engadin region, trains seem to be more useful so you don't have to rent a car. In fact for things like the Bernina Express, it's better than driving that area.
But also, if you stay at least 2 or 3 nights, they give you a pass that covers all the cable cars and mountain railways in the region. Austria doesn't seem to have comparable promotions (well they do but the number of participating hotels is limited and the room rates are much higher just to get a pass you can get for about 65 Euro).
Seems like the tourist infrastructure for ascending all these different mountains are much more developed in the Alps (France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria) than in the Rockies.
