Adding this to my bucket list! :-)

However, I am tired of seeing things like “No photography or filming is allowed inside the cave (helps preserves the ice caves)”. I don’t think the reason given is valid. What are you worried about? Heat? Light? Why not just say “No Flash Photography” or “No Lights”? And then those two factors just disappear. Or am I missing the point entirely?

In reply to Sheri Doyle. Hallein is only 10 miles or so from the ice cave and has one of the best salt mine tours. Also the home of Franz Gruber, composer of Silent Night. About an hour and a half or two to the west of Salzburg is Innsbruck the capital of the Tirolean Alps. We loved Innsbruck.

Thank you for the information and the great tips. Can you recommend any towns close by other than Salzburg?

In reply to Shrikant Joshi. It is pretty dark inside but if they lit up the whole cave all the ice would melt. In our opinion it is worth a visit, especially if you have never been to an ice cave before.

I am planning to visit werfen in September but I read in the other reviews that it is really dark inside and it doesn’t look anywhere near to the picture on web site so I am in double mind whether to visit Dachstein or Werfen
