Great walk to the cave. Inside the cave, the colours are intense, just amazing.

The trip was very beautiful. it was a bit of a disappointment for me that we spent almost an hour and a half in the car during the three-hour trip. As a result, the trip to the ice cave and the viewing was a lot shorter than expected. I also expected to walk a bit on the glacier, given that the description stated that we would get spikes and ice spikes. But despite the above, it was a special experience that I can recommend to everyone

Le plus beau n'était pas la grotte de glace mais la visite de l'intérieur de glacier apres la marche de quelque centaine de metre dessus. Il ne faut pas hésiter à choisir la journée complet malgré le prix un peu plus élevé.

Activité à ne pas rater : visite de la grotte impressionnante, dune couleur rare à certains endroits, le trajet pour y aller estvttrs sympa, la randonnée est facile et très belle, et le guide très sympathique expliquant bien la formation des grottes de glace et leurs évolutions avec le réchauffement climatique, c'était très beau et très intéressant
