Giant Ice Cave – one of the biggest ice caves in the world - extensive Mammut Cave and Koppenbrüller Cave – still traversed by underground streams – are particularly spectacular. A state-of-the-art cable car provides access to this unique nature experience consisting of caves, informative and enjoyable hiking routes on the karst massif and adventure cave tours.

Just follow the signs/description on the street after Hallstatt. Take the cable car to the intermediate station - first stop. From there it is a steep 10 minute walk up the path to the ice cave. Tiring, but worthwhile. € 47 for the mountain railway and the ice cave are expensive, but the mountain and the cave cannot do anything about that. The card can be bought down at the valley station. Registration for the guided tour through the ice cave takes place at the intermediate station after getting off. You receive a number for the next tour and also the time until the next tour. The guide was very friendly and answered all questions, even after the guided tour through the cave he took time to answer questions. That was nice and a big compliment for the tour through the cave. Even in summer the cave does not have temperatures above 5-6 ° C, so dress warmly or take something warm with you. The ice formations in the cave - especially the size of the ice formations - is impressive. The small light shows with which the ice formations are illuminated in different colors, a nice effect. When visiting the Krippenstein with the "5-Fingers", make a stop at the intermediate station and visit the ice cave. It's worth it and is an interesting and nice change from all the mountains, valleys and viewing platforms in the area. The tour takes about 50 minutes. Especially with kids, great thing, but not just for kids.
