Unfortunately, since a gigantic landslide at the beginning of 2019, the previous route north of the Fox River, which led close to the glacier, is no longer usable (and is no longer being repaired). 🥺
The new southern variant compensates with a short stretch through original rainforest, but still remains very far from the glacier with the best possible viewing …

From the parking lot you go slightly uphill through pretty forest towards the viewpoint of the Fox Glacier. Unfortunately, you can't get close to the glacier, so you can only admire it from a distance.
