Sparkling ice crystals and dazzling ice sculptures enchant visitors to the Glacier Palace. A passenger lift takes you 15 meters below the ice surface of the glacier.

Cozy furs lie on ice benches and ice sculptures lead you into the world of ice fairy tales. The sculptures are regularly renewed. They were designed by ice artists.
