Discover the awe-inspiring Scarisoara Ice Cave on a captivating full-day tour from Oradea, Romania. We pick you up early from your hotel and journey through the scenic Apuseni Mountains, passing Beiuş, Ştei, Lunca Village, and Arieseni before reaching the charming village of Gârda.
Upon arrival, prepare for an adventure as you hike to the mountain’s summit at 1,165 meters. Descend a 50-meter deep shaft via sturdy metal stairs, with panoramic views of dramatic vertical cliff walls guiding your way to the glacier’s hidden entrance.
Inside, you’ll explore one of Europe’s oldest and most impressive ice caves, formed in Jurassic limestone over 150 million years ago. Learn how ancient rivers and the last ice age sculpted this vast, frozen wonder, preserving its glacier for thousands of years.
Marvel at breathtaking stalactites and stalagmites in the cave’s main chamber, known as the Big Hall, and the enchanting Church chamber, famed for its over 100 ice stalagmites. Your expert guide will share fascinating stories of early explorers and the cave’s scientific significance.
