Today you have whole day to spent at leisure. 

You may wish to enjoy the arctic wilderness at your own peace or go for an outdoor adventure. 

We recommend to have a one of a scenic hike. Long and incredibly varied hike that offers several types of landscape: lush lowlands, windswept highlands, moraines and, not least, the Inland Ice Sheet with crevasses, streams and glacier wells. We follow Paul-Émile Victor's tracks all the way to the ice cap. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, tracked vehicles with supplies for Paul-Émile Victor's famous Inland Ice expeditions ran here, and today we can see the remains of their machinery and an old cable car. In a beautiful valley with a view of a dead glacier, we enjoy our lunch before hiking over the moraine and into the Inland ice sheet. This is the absolute highlight of the trip. Well spent, we are home late in the day for a well-deserved dinner.

When we write in the degree of difficulty that the trip is demanding, it is not because it requires special training in walking on ice or climbing. The trip is not technically difficult - but it is a long trip of 25 km, and we climb approx. 1000 meters of altitude, so you have to be in good shape.
