    Hiking

    An impressive natural experience, how impressive the glacier lies in front of you. The question is always how long we can continue to enjoy this natural spectacle.

    Definitely worth continuing on the red white path past the bridge once the 806 route finishes. After half an hour you’re at the mouth of the glacier and it exceeded my expectations. Stunning area!
