Many destinations, such as the Liechtenstein Gorge, the Giant Ice World, the Grossglockner, the Hohenwerfen Castle, and various mines , can be visited in any weather.
Liechtenstein Gorge
Liechtenstein Gorge is certainly one of the longest, deepest, and most impressive gorges in the Alps. The mighty thunder of the waterfall, the moss-grown rocks in rich green, a legendary atmosphere, and sun rays that create a rainbow in the fine water mist. The unique natural spectacle in the Salzburger Land is known for an unforgettable trip of a special kind - an experience for the whole family.

Giant Ice World
Another highlight, a short 40 minute drive into the town of Werfen, are the world's largest ice caves with an incredible total length of 42 kilometers - the Giant Ice World. Cold air masses flow into the cave in winter. Due to rising temperatures in the spring, the ice begins to melt, making the water seep into the cave, where it freezes. This and other complex processes create the enormous, stunning ice formations - the "Ice Giants."
