Hi bvn11,
The hotel will be closed this summer. I don’t know what happens after that. You can still visit the ice grotto. Unfortunately it’s not as impressive as it once was, due to global warming. I was there a few years ago, so I don’t know how it currently is. It will be open when the pass road is open: from June 6.
