This is a most amazing sight and experience. There is a bit of a hike from the visitors centre to the cable car (the steepest in Austria), and from there to the entrance to the cave. Be sure to brin…Full review by nielsr716

The ice cave is just a bonus on top of the journey to the peak of this massive mountain. The whole design is an Austrian engineering marvel. How they built access to this cave is amazing. But all to…Full review by Pannipannini

What an experience. 2 steep walks - 1st to the cable car and 2nd to the entrance by which point you appreciate the cold. Be prepared though it is proper cold in there, especially on your hands if you…Full review by 575helenc

Q:
Hi, everyone I have read in some blogs that photos & videoing is not allowed inside the caves. How strict is this rule and do the staff enforce it to the letter? What is the reason for this, as I won't be using a flash (unike flash photography fading frescoes in churches)? If this is fully enforced, I will not spend the money & be told not to film! Thank you for your answers, in anticipation, Steve Yeoh

You are not allowed to take pictures inside the cave.

Q:
Can one use walking poles and take backpacks into the ice caves?
A:
Walking poles may help with the climb up to the cave but will be virtually useless inside. There are many steps and metal hand rails that are ice cold so bring gloves. Yes you can bring a …

Walking poles may help with the climb up to the cave but will be virtually useless inside. There are many steps and metal hand rails that are ice cold so bring gloves. Yes you can bring a backpack. Almost everyone does.

Can a 5 year old handle this trip?! Or they have to go through these steps?

Depends on your five year old. The hike up to the cave from the gondola is still steep and strenuous. It can get very hot in the summer. The path is loose gravel and slippery. I slipped …

Depends on your five year old. The hike up to the cave from the gondola is still steep and strenuous. It can get very hot in the summer. The path is loose gravel and slippery. I slipped and fell and gouged my knee. The stairs and path in the cave can get narrow and extremely steep. Pack warm clothes and hat and gloves. Every 4th or 5th tourist carries an open flame lamp. My 15 yo daughter accidentally bumped into the lamp held by the person next to her and burned a hole in her jacket. The ice caves are beautiful and my family loved every minute of the amazing experience. But, between the hiking, summer heat, and extreme cold, I would not have had the same experience if I had to worry about a child or anyone else in my party that had difficulty with the tour. Also, it can be dangerous if you have an overly energetic and rambunctious 5yo.
