Zip Line Glacier Hike Adventure
Hike to the Glacier
Once you arrive at the glacier parking lot, your guide will begin handing out your gear for the tour.This includes crampons, a harness, a helmet with a headlamp, and hiking boots if you rent them.Once everyone has their gear, you will take a 30-minute hike to the edge of the glacier.The hike is relatively easy for most and will have you walking on flat, yet slightly rocky ground the entire way.We will always go at the pace of our guests so you can take your time and enjoy the walk as your guide leads the way.
Glacier Hike to the Zip Line
Next, you will put your crampons into the ice and make your way onto Sólheimajökull Glacier.Hiking on the ice is a unique feeling and may take some getting used to but by the end of the tour, you won’t want to take your crampons off! As you hear the crunch below you, you will march forward and follow your guide up the glacier toward the direction of the moulin where you will jump on the zip line.Throughout this, your guide will show you different formations on the glacier known as moulins or deep glacial holes.All while admiring the barren landscape around you, you will feel like you are in a different world.
After making your epic jumps on the zip line, you will head back up the slope and off the glacier knowing that you are one of the few who got to experience something so special here in Iceland.
Return to the Solheimajokull Car Park
You will finish the tour with a hike back to the glacier parking lot and a 30-minute drive back to the Glacier Lagoon where you will say goodbye to your guide and have memories of an amazing day inside of Katla GeoPark.
