🧊 Moulins (French for mill, pronounced moo-lan) are deep, vertical shafts in the glacier formed when surface meltwater finds a crack and starts drilling down through the ice.

💧Think of them as the glacier’s natural plumbing system—swallowing rivers of water and sending them deep into the ice.

😱 They can reach tens of meters down and come in all shapes and shades of blue, white and black (depending of the season), echoing with the roar of rushing meltwater. Some are small and serene, others are wild and powerful - but all of them are mesmerizing.

🤔 Curious? Book a summer glacier hike with us and we’ll take you straight to these icy wonders.

🛑 Forget overpriced dinners and last-minute gas station flowers.

🩵 This glacier heart formed in ice that has been around for a thousand years - unlike your bouquet, which won’t survive the week.

Welcome to the world where time slows and nature’s artistry takes your breath away.

Bubbly textures glowing like sapphire, light changing with every step you take.

Standing there, under sparkling ceiling and realizing that this moment is fleeting as this cave will shift and change with the seasons. Its beauty is never quite the same.

Feeling so small yet so connected to something ancient and powerful. It’s a feeling you’ll carry with you long after you leave, a reminder of the raw beauty and wonder the Earth has to offer.

See you on the ice cave tour.

🤔 Ever wonder why ice caves look so different every time?

The secret lies in nature’s ever-changing factors:

✨ Ice thickness – Thicker ice gives deeper, richer blues.

☁️ Weather outside – Gloomy skies = darker caves.

❄️ Snow cover – More snow on the glacier means less light gets through.

⏰ Time of day – The angle of sunlight can transform the cave’s appearance.

Each visit to an ice cave is unique—no two moments are ever the same! Would you explore one? 💙

Obssesed with Glaciers

Want to know what drives someone to building a Super Jeep to comfortably navigate on top of Europe’s largest Glacier? Well, it’s quiet simple, a healthy balance between passion and obsession. For us who grew up around Glaciers, we have always had a grand fascination with scaling and navigating the vast landscapes and the adventure it brings. The most empowering moment is the first step you take on a glacier. Knowing that you’re standing nothing more than compressed snow which over 1000’s of years turned into Ice. The glaciers are the closest we can get to time travel, as everything under your feet is frozen in time. Our expert guides are taking tours during Summer and Winter, and ensure that no matter the weather you get to experience something new.
