  Giant Ice Caves in Werfen Normally, adventurers venture into the depths of the mountain in groups as part of a guided tour. Then it’s time to climb stairs: one ascends 100 vertical metres through the huge “Posselthalle”, whose floor is completely covered with ice. Columns and towers of ice line the path.  Today, however, we embark on the  adventure-filled excursion right from our living room : floating in a 360° perspective between the rock walls bearing a glittering coat of furry crystals. Enormous ice formations shimmer in turquoise in the light of magnesium torches. A narrow passageway leads straight to the “Dome”, the largest room on the tour. The ice floor is as smooth as glass in the “Ice Palace”, some 400 metres beneath the surface. From here, the fantastical journey takes us past the “Ice Gate” and back to the entrance by way of a 100-metre-long tunnel carved into the ice. Explore in 360 degrees
