You can discover these spectacular caves, with their amazing ice and snow sculptures, in the glaciers of Les 2 Alpes (3 400 m) and La Meije (3 200 m). Round off your day out on the mountain tops with an exploration the magical world of ice caves!
Les 2 Alpes ice cave, at an altitude of 3400 m, is the biggest and highest in the world. It was dug in 1993 by two mountain guides, Bruno Gardent and Bernard Lambolez and allows you to go 30 m under the surface of the glacier. Inside the cave, sculptors from all over Europe have created a number of temporary works, transforming the austere galleries into a fabulous world of art.
