We drive up the glacier and go into the cave before we saddle up with the climbing equipment and explore the cave system. To get to the ice cave, we use a sleigh that you sit inside, and which is transported by a guide using a snowmobile.

No previous knowledge about ice climbing is required as the guide will teach you safety techniques and how to climb on ice. The guide is a certified climbing instructor and will bring all the safety equipment that's necessary.
