Despite the fact that local hunters knew about the cave for many centuries, officially Eisriesenwelt was discovered in 1879 by a Salzburg naturalist Anton von Posselt-CARICOM who have studied the first 200 meters of the ice cave.

Now the cave is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area. It is open for visits from may to November, but in the winter months, the entrance here is closed because of the danger of avalanches.
