The association Girls* on Ice Switzerland, founded in 2016, organizes each summer in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute two free 11-day expeditions for young women (15-17 years). On the one hand, the participants explore the Findelen Glacier in the Valais Alps and gain insights into mountaineering. On the other hand, accompanied by two glaciologists and a mountain guide, they discover access to scientific and technical fields (MINT).
