Recent Traveler Reviews
Here is a selection of the most recent reviews of the Franz Josef Ice Climbing submitted by actual travelers. Read what travelers liked, what they loved, and what they thought could be improved.
The guides were experienced and very entertaining. The walk up to the glacier to the locations for ice climbing were tough, and not recommended for unfit people. We did about 7 climbs each, the first set easier than the last set, and the group size was 8 people, with 2 routes to climb in each location. We spent 2.5 hours walking to the ice climbing route and then around 3.5 hours ice climbing, with plenty of breaks in between. On the descent back tot he valley, we also looked at some ice caves.

Lots of ice time, professional training, but friendly and fun at the same time. Very unique experience that was tailored to fit our ability level but challenging too.

Pretty cool if you've never ice-climbed before like me. Great guide, good time.
