It can also be smart and interesting to go through the museum. You will be well prepared, and able to surprise your fellow hikers, if you learn a few things about the glacer.

It is important to find out what kind of a glacier hike you want.
For example, if you have kids under the age of 12 years, you have yo go for the FAMILY WALK . And younger children than 6-year old cannot go on a glacier hike. You will not be allowed to carry children on your back.

I everyone are over the age of 12, you have two other options. Both of them involve more professional equipment, like ice axe, crampons and harnesses. All of this is provided and included in the price.

The two options are the SHORT BLUE ICE WALK and the BLUE ICE WALK. Quite similar, but one is a bit longer and also takes you into more wild formations. But both are suitable for the average fit person. You do not have to be an athlete!
All of these hikes are back in time for the bus.
