I paid to see the ice sculptures and was told they would open on 2/28, but they were not open.
Dear Wayne, Thank you for your review and your feedback. We also had the information that the renovation would last until 27.02.2026. It can of course happen that there were delays and that they were not able to reopen on 28.02.2026. The ticket is not only for the Glacier Palace. With your ticket, the following is included: Round trip with the aerial cable car from Zermatt Access to the viewing platform and the Cinema Lounge Entry to the 3S InfoCube Entry to the Glacier Palace Local bus (green line) I hope you were still able to enjoy the rest of your trip. Kind regards, Your Swiss Activities Team
