I went on the glacier hike with my boyfriend last week and honestly, it was out of this world. Our guide, Matti, was so chill and made sure even the clumsiest among us (me) felt safe the whole time. The views from the top? EPIC. At one point we got to drink the coldest water straight off the ice, which somehow tasted better than any bottled stuff. Bring a windbreaker, it gets real breezy higher up! Only thing—wish we coulda stayed longer at the crevasse, felt a bit rushed. Still, 100% worth it.

Booked the moderate tour for my solo trip. Was nervous at first ‘cause I’m not super fit, but turns out you just gotta go slow and listen to the guide (shoutout to Emma!). She cracked jokes and explained the glacier stuff so it wasn’t just a walk. The crampons took some getting used to, lol. Was a bit crowded at the starting point and we waited about 20 mins to gear up, but once we got moving it spread out. Weather held up, just clouds. Def bring gloves—my fingers were freezing.

Brought my parents and little sister on this hike & it was amazing for all of us. The guides helped us with everything (even tying my dad’s boots, haha). The glacier is soooo much bigger than it looks from the parking lot. We learned about the layers and the blue ice—honestly didn’t expect it to be THAT blue in spots! Our group took loads of photos but you can’t take pics inside the ice cave, which was a bummer. Still, memories for days!

First time on a glacier and WOW. It’s so much more wild in person than in the pictures. Our guide, Marta, made sure we all felt safe and even showed us how to spot fresh cracks in the ice. The gear is a bit clunky but you get used to it. Best part was sliding down a little ice slope at the end—felt like a kid again. Bring snacks, you’ll get hungry!

Glacier hiking has been on my bucket list forever. Did the tour with my bestie and we loved the energy of our guide (Erik). He kept things moving but always checked if we needed breaks. There were a few moments where the ice was slippery AF, so take it slow! Only downside: bathrooms at the meeting point were kinda gross.
