In terms of length and altimeters, this walk seems suitable for children; however, not all families will be able to make this walk (easily). Because the walk goes over the moreno (scree slope) of the glacier, the path is very narrow and there are steep precipices on both sides of the very narrow path

Route walked to last 500 m. Too dangerous to balance further on the sometimes less than 50 cm wide ridge. Both sides of the moraine ridge very deep and @rough. Path is sometimes slippery and crumbly offers no hold and consists of loose stones set in clay. Unsuitable for children and hikers without mountain
