It is open all over the year and you need to ski to it in winter seasons as there is a high risk of slipping while walking. You will find ample of evidences to learn how the cave was born from the volcanic vent and how the molten lava was cooled and solidified to give it its current shape. There are small wave-like undulations on the floor that are remains of the ripples frozen in the last trickle of the molten lava rock. The stone icicles look stunning in the light and shadowy ambiance. The temperature inside the cave is cool throughout the year.
