Explore icy caves...

The "Dachstein Ice Palace" takes you right inside the Dachstein Glacier. Step into a fascinating, frosty ice world. Marvel at the sparkling glacier ice and mystic ice music.

Pole-Position on the Dachstein The Dachstein Ice Palace has recently acquired its own racing team. The new "Red Bull RB7" racing car, World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Formula 1 icon Niki Lauda have been carved out of 3.5 tons of ice. Created with great attention to detail, fitted with special lighting effects, this special display makes not just the hearts of Formula 1 fans beat faster.

 

The Simpsons have moved in

In the addition to the Formula 1 exhibition, the "Simpsons" are also on display in the Ice Palace. The most famous television family in the world moved into the Dachstein Ice Palace in 2010. To ensure the high quality for visitors, all "Simpsons" figures have been remodeled and attractions such as the "Crystal Dome" and the "Throne Rooms" have been partly newly carved.

On the Dachstein Glacier you are that little bit closer to heaven Another highlight on the Dachstein: Peep into a natural crevasse of about 40 m in length and 17 m in height, filled with 600,000 litres of water, which was discovered in the course of development works of the Ice Palace. Through a porthole glass visitors can take a look into a fascinating world of ice of up to 80 cm of natural crystals. The Dachstein Ice Palace is a unique opportunity to safely explore the interior of a glacier.

With the best views...

An additional attraction is the "Dachstein Sky Walk" situated right by the mountain station of the Dachstein cable car: Probably the most spectacular viewing platform in the whole of the Alps reigns above the 250 m steep vertical rock face of the Hunerkogel. Parts of the floor are made of glass - guaranteeing unforgettable views.
