The mighty Hintertux Glacier offers not only the highest located show cave of Europe, the Spannagel Cave, but also an accessible crevasse. The Glacier Bus 3, a cable car, takes you from the village of Tux to the mountain station at 3,250 m a.s.l. Just a few minutes away there's Nature's Ice Palace (Natur Eis Palast) with its glacial lake and the frozen waterfalls.
The ice cave is open all year round, and features a constant temperature of 0 degrees C, making it accessible with ski boots in winter as well as with warm clothing and sturdy shoes in summer. Several tours are on offer: the base tour with boat trip, stand up paddling on the glacial lake and ice swimming, a kayaking session and ice climbing.
New in the Nature's Ice Palace is the Scientific Tour in the "New World", the new stunning part of Nature's Ice Palace. Have fun!
