Starting point
Spannagelhöhle
Meeting point is at 12.50 am at the Spannagelhöhle office, which you can find inside the Spannagelhaus. After getting changed and receiving initial instructions, the first glacier highlight begins in the company of a trained cave guide: the approx. one-hour-long tour through the Spannagel Cave, the only marble cave to be found in the Central Alps. After only a few steps, you will find yourself in the cave, directly beneath the ski slope.
Lunch
is served!
The table is already laid for you at Spannagelhaus, where tour participants can look forward to the legendary, fiery Spannagel Fondue and palates are pampered in this extraordinary cave setting with unique panorama. As dessert – in fitting style - a marble cake made to grandma's recipe is served, of course, in reference to the omnipresent marble cave.
Back with
600 hp
Then at around 16.00 hrs, a 600 hp Pistenbully snow groomer pulls up outside Spannagelhaus to take participants on a snowcat ride to the Tuxer Fernerhaus, as a crowning finale to this Glacier Tour.
