Amazing!! Would definitely recommend

This was so much fun!! Highly recommend doing this before the glacier melts and you can’t anymore. Although me and my friends had never gone ice pik climbing or glacier hiking, we felt super safe since our guide was very experienced and made sure we were harnessed, had crampons, etc. Thankfully we all had plenty of hiking & skiing experience, which was good because this activity was quite the hike and definitely required some stamina and muscles. There were also folks in our group who had done this before, and they also enjoyed it, so I think this is good both for beginners and those with experience.

best activity of our trip!

Our group leaders from Troll were awesome! - Lily and Gustavo were well trained for us. our group had 11 people + the 2 guides The walk to the climb site was about 1 mile. be sure to be prepared for bad weather and not appropriate for young kids! skill required was challenging even for athletic people.

So fun

We had so much fun on our glacier hike and climb! Maria was an amazing guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the glacier and taught us a lot. The climb was super fun too, challenging but manageable! There was very little time standing around or waiting for others. Highly recommend!
