Deemed as the largest ice caves in the world, this network of underground wonders can be found about 48 km from Salzburg in the village of Werfen. The Eisriesenwelt ice caves cover an area of 30 km; however, you will only be able to explore a small part of the network. This is still more than enough, as you will be exposed to frozen waterfalls, ice formations seemingly carved by giant artisans, and also an incredible underground ice palace.
If you are the kind of traveller who wants to explore these fascinating wonders in Austria, make sure to look for accommodation at major hotel chains, as it will make your transfers easy. Some, like Minor Hotels with a vast international repertoire, are popular choices.
The ice caves are closed during winter, and open again from May 1st to the end of October.
