What will you do ?
The Grey Glacier is about 6 km wide, has a total area of 270 km² and is divided into 3 faces: west face, main face and east face. It is one of the more than 40 glaciers that are part of the Southern Ice Field, being also a place of discharge of fresh water from it.
The ice hike, exclusive to BigFoot, is an activity that lasts approximately 5 hours. The excursion begins with the displacement of our guides and passengers, through our boat, towards the island embedded in the middle of the glacier. Once there, we begin a hike that can last between 40 minutes and 1 hour until we reach the access to the ice. This route is uphill in rocky terrain and has a medium difficulty.
After the safety check, we start the ice trekking adventure for about 2.5 hours where we can observe the cracks, rivers, lagoons, tunnels and ice caves that the Grey Glacier contains. On the way we will take a break in this immense landscape, to enjoy a hot tea and a snack.
This activity has an age limit between 16 and 65 years.
Duration: 05:00
