Summary:
I had an amazing trip with Bliss (booked via Much Better Adventures). Great accommodation in the lodge, lots of nice food and an excellent experience trying ice climbing for the first time. Many thanks to our brilliant guides, the beautiful Inessa with her passion for oddly-shaped trees and her insights into Finnish culture, and Jeppe providing skilled climbing guidance and entertaining us on the drives with Mexican music and philosophical musings.
