We enjoyed the experience very much. The scenery was beautiful and it was great to just sit there and take it all in.

Wir waren hier bei der extremen Kälte. Der Guide war nett, aber die Aktivität zu kurz. Nachdem wir das Feuer angezündet haben, waren wir ca. 20 min am Eisloch. Schade, gerade hatte man sich reingefunden, musste man schon abbrechen.
