My guide for the day was Azzura from Nordic travel and she took good care of me to make sure that I didn’t fall on the slippery ground along the walk. Enjoyed the bbq lunch esp the salmon soup . Yummy !!! The only setback is there’s no proper toilet there except for the compost toilet at the start of the walk. Overall it’s a good walk to see the amazing frozen waterfall.”
