Werfen Ice Caves Tour from Salzburg
You will enter this natural wonder with your guide, who will explain the labyrinths of large caverns, mysterious ice figures and give many added tales of adventure, to make your experience unforgettable. There is more to this cave than its echo!
Important Note:
You will need walking shoes, warm clothes and should be prepared for uphill walking. The climb to the ice caves is 134 meters, which is equivalent to climbing the stairs in a high block of apartments. Each individual should decide for themselves whether he or she is physically able to complete the climb. The beauty and breathtaking dimensions of the cave provide plenty of reward for the effort! Although the speed of the guided tour is tailored to the group, we advise those with serious walking difficulties or heart circulation problems not to visit the caves.
Please note, entrance fees of approx.
18 EUR per adult and 10 EUR per child are not included in the tour price and have to be paid separately on the day.

This is a not to be missed tour though I would have preferred it to be tagged with a visit to the Hohen Werfen at a slight extra cost of time and money.That would have made my day.

Awesome tour! Really enjoyed being up in the mountains and seeing something so fascinating like these ice caves. The trip between Salzburg/Werfen was gorgeous enough in itself; was great to take a little hike in the Alps while I was in Austria.
