Even driving to the campsite was an adventure: distracted by beautiful white-capped mountain scenery, there was ice and grit on the steep and winding mountain roads to contend with. Also you had these tiny single lane bridges some of them extremely long. A couple were shared with the trains. So you had to give way to trains, or traffic coming from the opposite direction, quite nerve-wracking being on the bridge driving over the rails and wondering if a train is going to appear at any time, especially since there was only just enough room for the van!Anyway we got to the glacier centre and got kitted out with crampons, waterproofs, gloves although it was lovely weather outside. Our first introduction to the glacier was this sign.
