Ice Palace, Ice cave attraction in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
The Eispalast features underground passageways carved into glacier ice at Jungfraujoch, displaying natural ice formations and illuminated sculptures throughout its chambers.
The Ice Palace originated in 1930s when railway workers discovered a natural cave system within the Jungfrau glacier during construction of mountain infrastructure.
Swiss mountaineers maintain the Ice Palace tradition by creating new ice sculptures each season, demonstrating alpine craftsmanship passed through generations.
Visitors can access the Ice Palace daily from 7:30 to 15:30 through the Jungfraubahn railway, with wheelchair accessibility and guided tours available.
The temperature inside the Ice Palace remains constant at -3°C throughout the year, preserving intricate ice formations carved 20 meters below the glacier surface.
