Our Guides
Our skill at step-cutting & track formation are what gives our trips the edge.
Our rigorous guide training program ensures our guides possess these skills in abundance, and we proudly claim to be the best. Each day prior to the first commercial trip, our guides inspect the glacier and cut large, step-lines and walking tracks. Your time on the ice will be monitored by our experienced guides, whilst passing through the unique terrain and impressive ice formations.
