The Grey Glacier Ice Hike is a unique 5-hour adventure that offers the rare opportunity to walk directly on the ice of one of Torres del Paine’s most iconic glaciers.
Once the group is ready, a zodiac boat will transport you to a remote beach near the glacier's edge. There, you'll hike for about an hour across the rocky moraine to reach the starting point. After a comprehensive safety briefing from the guide, you'll strap on your crampons and embark on a 2.5-hour trek across the glacier’s surface—an unforgettable journey through a frozen world of crevasses, blue ice, and breathtaking scenery.
