The 13 peaks, home to several glaciers, are covered in snow year-round. Different altitudes offer changing landscapes, with peaceful meadows giving way to snow-covered paths and glaciers. The choice to visit Spruce Meadow via cable car is due to its lower altitude (3,300 meters) and fewer visitors compared to Glacier Park, while still offering a beautiful view.
