Details
If you want to try caving for families, then our tour in "Spectaclan" is made for you!
This trip through the depths of the earth is a real invitation to discover the mysteries of the underground world. You will progress vertically and horizontally through narrow passages and large volumes. A little technique will be required because the use of ropes, especially during a small abseiling passage, is necessary.
If we are lucky, we will even have the opportunity to observe bats!
Tour programme- Preparation:
We meet at the booked time at the car park in Vallon Pont d'Arc, where your guide will already be waiting for you. There he will give you the equipment and a short introduction.
- Tour:
We will walk together to the point of entry. After having overcome many challenges, we return on foot to the car park where we finish our tour.
