The ice cave of La Grave
1 / 12
Description
At an altitude of 3,200 meters, nestled in the crevasses of the Girose Glacier, the La Grave ice cave has been completely renovated. Come visit it and let yourself be captivated by the delicate ice sculptures...
Located a 10-minute walk from the top station of the Glaciers de la Meije cable car, it’s a wonderful experience for everyone. The ice cave is open only in the summer. In fact, the cave lies beneath several meters of snow during the winter.
It descends 24 meters per year and reaches a flat section of the glacier, which puts it under compression: the passages close in, the ice formations become distorted, and the cave tends to tilt, which reduces the slope inside and limits the drainage of water seeping in through the crevasses. Working with nature means adapting!
