welcom inside the glaciers - Les Grottes de Glace

Real under-glacier museums !

The ice caves are veritable underglacier museums open to the public.

What exactly is an ice-cave

The caves are entirely underground, it is "galleries-exhibitions". The exhibition consists of a series of sculptures (snow or ice).

Time-table

The caves are open at the same hours and periods that the lifts.
