  • Very interesting guided tour inside the giant ice cave. The ice forms are magnificent. The length of the tour is 800 meters with cca. 500 stairs. It lasts about 50 minutes, you should not miss it anyway!
  • Just skip this part and spend more time on 5 fingers. If you come from a country that snow, the cave won't wow you. The snowmen I built as a kid were bigger than the ice in the cave. I am giving a 3 because the staffs worked hard and there are efforts on the lights. Overall it's a great disappointment.
  • The ice cave was amazing but unfortunately when I was there they were under renovation and I didn't see the Eiffel Tower. The price for ice cave is included in the price of the cable car which is 43€ per person.
  • Absolutely stunning, but...the walk to the entrance of the ice cave is a very steep path. Going up is hard, but going down is even worse. Also, inside the cave there are approximately 500 steps to navigate, and the temperature drops down to minus 3 degrees on the Celsius scale.
  • I liked the cave but I definitely did not like this performance style, just a let us walk through the cave and spare us of the effects and music ! :D
