Who has ever been 15 metres down in a glacier? Enter the highest Glacier Palace in the world. A world of ice awaits you, 15 metres below the surface of the ice.

Sparkling ice crystals and dazzling ice sculptures enchant visitors to the Glacier Palace. A passenger lift takes you 15 metres below the surface of the glacier. The fairytale palace in the middle of the eternal ice is enchanting. You travel through ice tunnels through the glacier, into a crevasse or to the ice slide. Cosy furs lie on ice benches and ice sculptures lead you into the world of ice fairy tales. The sculptures are regularly updated by ice artists.
