About This Tour
This is a tour designed for travelers, who seek to step further than most and feel like real explorers. Combine an ice cave visit with an adventurous hike, as you venture deep into the glacier. You will visit blue ice caves and canyons, which most people don't go to. By hiking further we manage to stay away from the crowds. On this tour there is also plenty of time for photography without feeling rushed. The tour starts with a 40 min 4x4 ride to the glacier. After arriving at the glacier's esge we gear up and set off for the glacier hike. Expect to spend 3 - 3,5 hours on the glacier and in the caves. If the conditions allow we try to visit more spectacular formations, such as ice canyons, crevasses and moulins. The tour ends with a similar drive back to the starting point. You will come back feeling like an accomplished adventurer!
