From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Yeti Ice Bar.

Book in advance, especially during peak season (December to February), to secure your spot due to limited capacity.
Wear warm socks and closed-toe shoes for added comfort, as the provided crampons attach to your footwear.
Take advantage of the photo opportunities with the ice sculptures, but be mindful of the time limit inside the ice bar.
Pace yourself with the drinks in the ice bar, as the cold can amplify the effects of alcohol.
After your visit to the ice bar, relax and warm up in the connected 'warm bar' with a wider selection of drinks and snacks.
