Also recommend bringing snow goggles if you have them, the face shield on the helmet fogs up fast. The staff was quiet but nice. Location of the lake is perfect !!”

We had some extra time thanks to our speedy driving and we also managed to drive up the mountain. The sun was rising and the views were breathtaking. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!”
