What To Expect
Once you’ll meet with your guide, you’ll be introduced to the activity you’ll experience shortly after. After checking in your guide will inspect all your boots, if they don’t match our safety standard for ice climbing, you’ll be asked to rent climbing boots at a nearby company (without proper boots, you won’t be able to climb!). Then it’s gear up time. You’ll be shown how to wear harness, helmet and how to walk safely holding ice axes and crampons. From the parking lot there is a 20 minutes walk to the front of the glacier where you’ll be introduced to crampons, how to wear them and how to walk. Then it’s glacier time!! Following a straight single line you’ll follow your guide through the terminal area of the glacier until the plateau, where your guide will find the best climbing spot according to the group fitness and experience. Here you’ll spend most of the glacier experience, climbing on a moulin or the wall of a crevasse. Once the group is satisfied with the climbing experience your guide will walk you back to the starting point where he’ll collect all the gear and check you out, after an amazing glacier adventure.

5.00The one with Valerio on the glacier was one of the best experiences of my trip to Iceland. Suitable for everyone, the Tuor on the glacier allows you to admire a natural spectacle from a really close distance. Recommended for everyone, especially for Valerio's ability to make us feel comfortable with crampons on the ice

5.00An experience that I will not forget, a walk on a centuries-old glacier with our guide, Valerio, who introduced us and explained how to stay on a glacier, told us the story, the dynamics of movement and regeneration of the glacier in a very engaging way.
Awesome experience!
