The glacier can be accessed from the third leg of the lift. On each leg you get out and change lifts. At the very top is a small playground where kids can slide down a small hill on snow rings (this is free). I recommend bringing rain or snow pants for the kids even in the summer. The panorama terrace there has great views but I missed some information panels on how the glacier is affected by climate change. I also did the hike up to the nearby mountain top but wouldn't do it again or recommend it. It wasn't very safe. Don't take your kids. We went to the restaurant on the second lift level which seemed overpriced and just ok quality wise. On the first level there is a 2h hike to go on where the kids can try out several marble runs and learn about the glacier world. It was an expensive day but something to try out once. I definitely wouldn't spend money on a ski pass in August. The runs looked sad and not much was open.

First time skiing and the high brought me Higher. I saw myself skiing as a Pro. Then I realized that I need more trainings. It was divine breathing this cold, fresh, natural air from the mountains and the snow. Falling while skiing was like playing in and with the snow. Tasting, touching, smelling it was for seeing its beauty, its intricacies and wondering how could such beauty exists and what should I do to honor it as a skier. And I found the solution: simply Love it. And the glacier provides all the means to enjoy myself and my stay there. Free parking for cars. Free buses for skiers. Ski school for beginners and others. Gondolas. Ski lifts... On my way from the entrance to the Tops of the mountains, I met the world: Ivorian, Burkinabè, Germans, Polish, Russians, Pakistani...

It's amazing that you can get so high up in the mountains with the Gletscherbus 1, 2 and 3 (cable cars). The price seems high but remember that you get 3 cable car rides for that price. The normal price is €42,50 per adult, but after 11:45 a.m. the price drops to €35,50 per adult. The reason for four stars instead of five is that big peaces of the glacier are covered by white plastic. I learned that this is to reflect the sun and prevent the ice from melting. To be honest I would rather see a plain mountain than a mountain covered with plastic. Be sure to wear long trousers and a jacket when you go to the top, because in the middle of the summer it's 4°c up there.

Just amazing to see the gletscher but also seeing what we are loosing in just a couple of years. Ice thats formed 5000 years ago at the top of the gletscher. And a great change to visit the ice palace. See the gletscher and cave system from underground. Truly an eye opener what a special place it is. Just go up during the summer and enjoy the snow and sliding of the mountain. Enjoy a good meal with a view. Talk with the friendly locals that just enjoy the alpine life. Great experience with the family and kids. (Beware get some warm clothes!!! No sport shoes or thin clothing or short pants)

This was just fabulous! Amazing weather, the best snow thinkable and it was super quiet! You had almost no rows at any lifts and you could ski wherever you wanted! This gletscher is just something else! I loved it so much that we decided to go there 2 times instead of 1. You can even ski straight down at a certain slope while its entirely safe! I went 104km/h and had the best day of my vacation. I highly recommend any skiër to go here as it's an adventure that you don't wanna miss! The view was also amazing it was the best view ive ever had on a mountain.

Beware of weather conditions! We were there end of May 2021. Only some of the lifts were open, which was of course expected. We were unfortunate to experience heavy clouds, with complete loss of orientation on an unknown slope. Can be rather dangerous for an inexperienced skier. But all in all the slopes were well maintained, the lift personnel was helpful (they agreed to keep the lifts running when they were informed there might still be people somewhere who could not reach them before the closure).
