Rieseneishöhle Dachstein
Sight / Cave
You reach the giant ice cave with the Krippensteinbahn, which takes you to the Schönbergalm. From here a short climb to the entrance of the cave. The 50-minute tour takes you into a wonderful world of ice. Remarkable ice sculptures, effective lighting effects and informative guided tours are a special natural experience. There are concerts in the cave in the summer months. The Parzivaldom becomes a concert hall. The Eisklang ticket (50. --) includes the cable car ride, entry and guided tour, concert and a two-course menu. 08.11.2023: An asphalt path leads from the middle station of the Krippenstein cable car to the entrance to the giant ice cave, but it is always a relatively steep climb. A ´lowland Tyrolean´ should plan 20 minutes for this; it would be a shame if you didn´t stop again and again to enjoy the fantastic view. You can buy your entry ticket at the valley station and then be assigned to a specific tour. The tour itself leaves you amazed at this natural miracle. The ice surfaces in the cave are up to 65 m thick. Especially in summer, many people underestimate the temperatures in the cave, which are below zero. So, dress warmly!
