  Beautiful place all year. Very drastic altitude change, so you'll want to bring a jacket and sunscreen when you're at altitude.

  What a wonderful place to go hiking. Located at about 3300m, this place has a small glacier to climb on and a glacier lake to swim in. The view from the glacier is fantastic, and the hike up not too strenuous. Even my 5 year old was able to do it and I carried my 1 year old, and my 73 year old Dad was with us. You might have to hurry though, as also this glacier is receding.
