Glacier hiking
lvl. 5
Glacier hiking :
the extraordinary opportunity to traverse and
explore these massive rivers of ice. The varying levels of difficulty allow
everyone to enjoy the experience of setting foot on a glacier. Each excursion
alternates between well-marked trails through alpine meadows and pastures, time
spent on glaciers, as well as a climbing move or two on more rugged terrain.
All of our hikes at altitude offer you the chance to fully immerse yourself in
high mountains.
