Ice & glaciers
A snowmobile covers a lot of white ground quickly and needs a driving licence; a glacier hike is slower and closer — crevasses, ice formations, the sound of it. If you want speed and a big open view, the snowmobile. If you want to understand what a glacier is, the hike.

Across the tours we sell, the typical per-person fare is €314 for Snowmobile and €191 for Glacier hike; the cheapest seats are €219 and €66. Private and per-vehicle tours are left out, because a car price is not comparable with a seat.
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.
