Honestly, I was a bit NERVOUS about the glacier hike but ended up LOVING it. Came with my girlfriend and neither of us had done anything like this before. Our guide, Jonas, was suuuper chill and explained everything, even when I asked too many questions (sorry Jonas!). Gear fit fine, and I could tell they checked everyone's crampons, which made me feel safe. The wind picked up halfway but that just made it feel even more EPIC. Not a huge crowd, maybe 10 of us, so it never felt rushed. Hot chocolate at the end was a nice touch. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Went with my sister & our two teens. Vibe was friendly, staff all smiles. The glacier itself is STUNNING but I wish we got a little more time to just enjoy the view instead of moving all the time. Pretty cold (duh) but they provided good jackets. One thing: the helmet was a bit loose for my son, but guide swapped it quick. Our group was a bit big, so sometimes hard to hear the guide's facts. Still, solid experience. Would recommend, but dress warm and bring snacks!

Never thought walking on a glacier would feel like THIS. It’s weirdly peaceful and wild all at once. I went solo (backpacking trip), and got paired with a group of Aussies who were hilarious. The guide, Olle, made sure even slowpokes like me didn’t fall behind. Learned a lot about the ice, saw some wild blue cracks that look unreal in photos. We weren’t allowed to wander off (for safety, obv), but honestly the main path was cool enough. Would 100% do it again.

Took the glacier hike with my girlfriend and MAN was it cool. Got to use crampons for the first time, which felt a bit awkward at first but you get the hang of it quick. The guide, Alex, told us all sorts of random glacier facts (didn’t know ice could be blue??). We lucked out with weather, sunny and barely any wind. The hike wasn’t too hard, even if you’re not super fit. They even gave us some chocolate at the end, win!

Booked this for my dad's birthday. He’s 70 and managed the whole hike with no problems! Staff were patient, especially with older folks. There were a few steep bits but our guide (Anna) was always nearby to lend a hand. Weather was COLD and kinda windy, but that's just glacier life I guess. The views are truly EPIC, especially when the sun hits the ice. Only downside: group was a bit big for my taste.
