The experience

About this tour

If you want to capture/photograph the blue crystal colours of the ice with a local company, this is a tour that we recommend for you.

We start with a 4×4 super jeep ride to the glacier, where we hike to the ice cave (note that there is no elevation on the way to the cave). We spend a good amount of time in the ice cave exploring and taking all the photos you need.

The tour can take 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on the day’s conditions and weather. All the ice caves are naturally made, so nature decides how they are shaped and where they are located. Safety is our priority, so we always choose the best Ice cave for every trip. The drive and the walk to the ice cave can, therefore, be different between days. If nature decides we cannot go to the ice cave, we have other extraordinary alternatives for you.

Difficulty
Easy / Moderate for some – Accessible to all those in good health.

Important
Good clothes, hats, gloves, and hiking shoes are very important!

Gear Provided
Crampons, helmets, harnesses, and other safety gear if needed.
