Ice cave

3200m above sea level at the top of the Jandry Express

Location: Les Deux Alpes

Walk through a two-hundred-metre gallery to reach a magical network of rooms carved twenty metres below the surface of the snow, deep inside the glacier.

The ice caves in Les Deux Alpes offer a true journey back to the ice age, with ethereal sculptures of dinosaurs and an impressive mammoth measuring six metres long and ten metres wide, all hewn directly from the Roche-Mantel glacier. Clever lighting adds to the atmosphere, creating a strange and captivating experience as you wander through the frozen world. Dug entirely by hand with nothing more than ice picks, the cave network consists of eight grottos, three rooms and the long entrance gallery, and takes around five months to complete each year.

Visit the website or ask at the tourist office for this season’s prices and opening times. The caves generally open in line with the lift schedule. Tickets are available at the ski pass offices, online, and at the tourist office.
