โHuge icicles border the entrance giving it a very dramatic feeling. The next section, the blue ice 'roof' that we walked under stretches about 20 feet before opening up to the sky above. The center opening that you can see was maybe 12 to 15 feet wide by 30 feet long. There was plenty of room for everyone to walk around and move freely. We all posed for pictures here and even sampled the dripping water. [...] The back part of the cave required us of do a sort of duck walk under about 15 feet of ice that is less than 3 feet off the ground. Would have been a piece of cake a few years ago, but my bad back and hips made it a little challenging, but we all made it with no problem. [...] It is definitely worth the effort. We walked back as far as possible before we would have to crawl again. It's so dark that we needed flashlights just to see what was right in front of us.โ
โThe first thing we did at Mt. Titlis was walk through the Glacier Cave. The cave is formed from 5,000 year old ice that you can actually touch as you walk through the 150-metre-long path 10 meters below the surface. The temperature inside the tunnel is below freezing, so I was glad we were bundled up and wearing boots. It was such a unique experience!โ
