Once off the main road, the path becomes off-road and bumpy, enhancing the sense of adventure while offering stunning views of mountains and the surrounding winter landscape.
This tour takes you beyond the usual roads, right to the glacier’s edge where the ice cave awaits. Your highly skilled driver-guide will expertly navigate the track, allowing you to buckle up and enjoy the adventure!
After the Super Jeep ride, you will be equipped with a helmet and crampons, receive a safety briefing, and then be ready to explore.
