    The entrance area with ticket office and souvenir shop is the entrance to the Belvédère ice grotto and the Rhone Glacier. The grotto has been carved into the ice here every year since 1870 - at 2300 m above sea level you can experience the Rhone Glacier up close.

      The glacier bazaar has a long history. The shop looks a bit outdated, but that is precisely what gives it its charm. In 2023/2024, the glacier path was repaired in places. Whether the 9 CHF is worth it is a matter of opinion.
