Want to cool off a little bit? Take a two-hour hike from the summit station to the Untersberg ice caves!

After a leisurely hike, you can enjoy spectacular insights into the world of water, ice, and rock. The Schellenberger Ice Cave is located on the German side of the Untersberg. A guided tour lasts about 45 minutes and is definitely worth the trip. The ice caves on the Untersberg are very popular among locals and visitors in Grödig – no wonder, as there is always something new to discover in the Schellenberger Ice Caves on the Untersberg.

The temperatures in the cave are sometimes below freezing, so even in summer, warm clothing is essential.

Guided tours are available from the end of May to October. Visiting the cave on your own is not allowed.

Paths to the Ice Cave

Between Marktschellenberg and the Austrian border, along the B305, is the small, free parking lot for the Schellenberger Ice Cave. Here, near the former customs tower, the ascent begins on a well-maintained path.

After about 1.5 to 2 hours of walking through shaded high forests, you will approach the tree line with a magnificent view of the Untersberg.

After another hour of walking, you will reach the managed Toni-Lenz-Hütte (1450 m). The total walking time is approximately 3 to 3.5 hours!
