Description

From Skaftafell National Park in Iceland, hike on the Falljökull glacier and explore an ice cave !

Get to Skaftafell National Park, where you'll meet your professional guide. You will then board a bus that will take you to the foot of the Falljökull glacier, also located in Skaftafell National Park. From the bus, you'll enjoy a breathtaking view of the glaciers, which will give you a foretaste of your hike.

Once there, your guide will explain the course of the activity and in particular the hike. You'll suit up and begin your ascent of the glacier.

At the halfway point, your guide will lead you into an ice grotto, a cave formed naturally by the glacier. You'll cross this turquoise-colored ice cave and have a few minutes to take photos and be impressed by the noise around you; a mixture of silence and dripping water.

You'll resume your hike on the Falljökull glacier, and be driven back to the Skaftafell National Park parking lot after an original and unique activity.
