A private day for your own group only, with a local driver-guide who picks you up at your Salzburg hotel. Two options:
6-hour option: Eisriesenwelt ice caves only. The cave runs 42 km into the Tennengebirge mountains, and its first kilometre is filled with ice. You walk it by lamplight with a cave guide.
8-hour option: the ice caves plus Hohenwerfen Fortress, the 11th-century castle above Werfen that film fans know from Where Eagles Dare, with its falconry show, and time for lunch in Werfen village.
Good to know: it is an active day. There are about 1,400 steps inside the cave and around 40 minutes of uphill walking to reach it, and the cave stays near 0 degrees all summer. Up to 6 guests per vehicle.
