Ice & glaciers
A glacier hike walks on top of the ice with crampons and runs all year; an ice cave takes you inside it and the natural caves are winter-only. In summer the hike is the only real option. In winter, the ice cave is the rarer experience, and some tours combine the two.

No. We sell at the operator’s own price and are paid a commission by them, so the price is the same. Booking here puts both kinds of tour in one basket with one checkout.
