Nature's Ice Palace

Insights into the eternal ice

Nature’s Ice Palace at the Hintertux Glacier is a natural gem, unique worldwide and an ideal year round excursion destination for the whole family. The entrance to this ice cave is only a 3 to 4 minute walk from the top station of the glacierbus 3 lift. On guided tours, visitors are asked to „Step inside” to this wonderful world deep beneath the ski slopes and discover a glacial crevasse with magical ice stalactites, giant sparkling ice crystals, frozen waterfalls and even a glacial lake.

The Natural Ice Palace has a constant temperature of 0°C 365 days a year. For the tour therefore clothes and good shoes are needed, even with ski boots the tour is easily possible. With its cool natural beauty, the Natur Eis Palace fascinates adult glacier fans as well as families with children over 6 years.

The ice cave is open all year round and accessible in all weathers. A visit to the Nature Ice Palace can also be combined with a day of skiing on the Hintertux Glacier or with a view from the panoramic terrace.
