Ice Climbing Tours

Some operators allow children from ten years old to join, other set the minimum age limit at twelve years old.

Ice climbing requires a helmet, crampons, a harness and ice axes, which will be provided by your guide who will also take care of the ropes.

You need a reasonable level of fitness and to be without pressing back, knee or neck problems.

Warm, waterproof clothes, gloves, and well-fitting hiking boots with decent ankle support—the more rigid, the better.

Climbing up an ice wall and back down again takes about five minutes, but you will spend at least an hour on the glacier.
