Glacier tour in the Tux Valley
Description
Glacier tour in the Tux Valley
Fascination snow and ice
Glaciers are and remain a natural attraction of a special kind. No matter what time of year you see, visit or walk on a glacier - you are always impressed anew! Especially in summer, the "phenomenon glacier" can be seen well. Climate change is taking its toll and causing all alpine glaciers to melt. What was the situation like this spring? Our nature park guide explains the elements of the glacier in front of us, such as its crevasses, moraines or the fascinating glacial striations, and looks back with you to the ice age when the glaciers were formed. With the glacier bus 3 we will go to the highest point in the ski area, from the viewing platforms we will have a perfect overview! Please do not forget good equipment: Mountain boots, sun protection, jacket and cap! Ideal for children from 7 years.
