Reviews
Absolutely incredible, highly recommend! To be able to walk through snow whilst wearing a t-shirt and shorts is one of the coolest experiences! We had never seen snow so this was a totally unique experience. The views from the top of the glacier are absolutely breathtaking, photos do not do it justice. The views even from the gondola trip are awesome! We had a great guide Annie, who was very knowledgeable and took great care of us. Glissading sliding down the snow at the end was a highlight, do it if you can!
