Once inside the mountain, you&#039;ll be greeted by enormous halls, mighty ice formations and a cold that feels far removed from the summer heat outside.<\/p><div class=\"sharethis-buttons\"><div

cave, we couldn&#039;t quite put the idea down. How exciting did it sound? The cave is located near Werfen, about a 40-minute drive south of Salzburg, and we decided to pay a visit with our camper van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We parked at the visitor center and continued with the shuttle bus up the winding mountain roads. Then the first walk awaited, about 20 minutes uphill to the lower station of the cable car. Already here we began to understand that this would be much more than an ordinary cave visit. The view of the mountains was absolutely fantastic!<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-1789785119\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-2563366057 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-503034948\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2353295352\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider2563366057 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-2563366057\" );$freedslider2563366057.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider2563366057.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider2563366057.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider2563366057.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider2563366057.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0021-1-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"Eisriesenwelt\" class=\"wp-image-71934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0021-1-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0021-1-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0021-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0021-1-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0021-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View on the way up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Linbana_till_Eisriesenwelt_%E2%80%93_igen\"><\/span>Cable car to Eisriesenwelt \u2013 again!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you read our previous post about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2018\/07\/med-linbana-till-toppen-av-untersberg-i-salzburg\/\">cable car up to Untersberg <\/a>You know I (Helena) am not too fond of cable cars.

Although he published his findings, it was not long before more people began to take an interest in the large cave system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1913, cave explorer Alexander von M\u00f6rk continued his explorations, and a few years later, Eisriesenwelt began to develop into a tourist attraction. The first tourists arrived around 1920, but back then there was neither the cable car nor all the stairs and walkways that we have today. Getting up to the cave was considerably more demanding than it is today.<\/p><div class=\"freed-stor-banner-plats-14 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-2994739927\"><div id=\"freed-slider-88782\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-2424539626 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-759657463\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale 588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-3545790632\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/husvagnar\/alpina\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-XL-588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-XL-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider2424539626 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-2424539626\" );$freedslider2424539626.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

Even before you reach the cave, there are two walks of about 20 minutes each, both uphill. Inside the cave, the effort continues with 700 steps up and the same number down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You therefore need to be able to walk up hills and stairs for a long time. For small children, the visit can be tiring, and the low temperature means that you need to think extra about your clothing. Anyone who has difficulty walking or problems with knees and joints should consider whether the tour is suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vad_ska_man_ha_pa_sig_i_isgrottan\"><\/span>What should you wear in the ice cave?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though it&#039;s warm and sunny down in Werfen, the temperature inside Eisriesenwelt is around zero degrees. At the same time, you can get quite warm during the hike up to the cave. Therefore, it&#039;s wise to dress in several layers that you can take off and put on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend comfortable hiking shoes with good grip, long pants, a warm sweater and a jacket. A hat and gloves are also good to have, not least because railings and other metal surfaces can be really cold. A functional garment closest to the body is better than a cotton sweater that easily gets damp during the hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a good idea to bring water and something to eat, especially if you are traveling with children. There is an option to buy food and drinks at the upper station of the cable car, but it can be nice to have something of your own in your backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0074-2-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Kl\u00e4der i isgrotta\" class=\"wp-image-71943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0074-2-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0074-2-600x340.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0074-2-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0074-2-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0074-2.jpg 1196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Biljetter_och_oppettider_till_Eisriesenwelt\"><\/span>Tickets and opening hours for Eisriesenwelt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eisriesenwelt is open during the summer months, usually from early May to late October or early November. In the 2026 season, the cave will be open from May 1 to November 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An adult ticket that includes both the cable car and the guided cave tour costs 41 euros when booked online and 45 euros on site in 2026. It is wise to book in advance, especially during the summer when many people want to visit the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also recommend arriving early in the day. This will reduce the crowds on the way up and during the tour. Always check the current prices, opening hours and ticket conditions on the Eisriesenwelt official website before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Att_ta_sig_till_Eisriesenwelt_med_bil_eller_husbil\"><\/span>Getting to Eisriesenwelt by car or camper<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eisriesenwelt is located at Werfen, about 40 kilometers south of Salzburg. By car, you drive along a paved mountain road about five kilometers long from Werfen up to the visitor center. The road is steep and winding, but the views of the mountains are fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We traveled here by camper and chose to continue by shuttle bus up the mountain. It is an option we would gladly recommend to other camper travelers, as the road to the visitor center is steep and parking can be difficult for larger vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the visitor center, it&#039;s about a 20-minute walk to the cable car, a short cable car ride, and then another 20-minute hike to the cave entrance.
