Everything was well-balanced in terms of pace, the "hike" is easy and leaves time to take plenty of pictures, the landscape is breathtaking, the guide gave us a lot of interesting facts about glaciers. Everything felt very safe and the ice cave was beautiful! We really loved this and I couldn't recommend more!”

“Genial, fuimos en una minibus Mercedes 4x4 hasta la lengua del glaciar, nos facilitaron botas de montaña ya que llevábamos deportivas, la excursión muy bonita, aunque es subida con los crampones, fue nuestra primera vez y lo llevamos bien, la guia iba haciendo paradas para explicarnos y coger aire. Estuvimos un poco más del tiempo…”
