Know before you go

  • This Glacier Zip Line + Hike tour involves roughly 2 hours of total hiking. The first half of the terrain is very flat yet rocky and is relatively easy for a person of average fitness. The second half is hiking on the glacier which goes up a gradual incline for about 20 minutes. The overall hike is rated as easy with some areas of moderate exercise.
  • For safety and quality reasons, the zipline requires a minimum of 6 participants to operate. As a result, public group departures do not run daily. We do our best to group participants together on the same departure to ensure the activity can take place.
  • Private departures, however, are available daily, all year round, and can be scheduled at your convenience.
  • Note that our Zip Line has a limit of 100kg per person.
  • ´No-fly´ Zip Line tickets are for guests who wish to participate in the full tour experience, except go on the Zip Line. ´No-fly´ tickets will have the opportunity to watch their family, loved ones and friends on the Zip Line.
