Caving in the Dent de Crolles: Annette cave

France, Northern Alps

Level : easy, from 10 years old

from 80 € / p. from 1 to 7 persons

Description

I would like to take you on an amazing caving discovery tour of the Annette cave.

Inside the Dent de Crolles, it takes you through a series of very old, comfortable and sometimes richly concretioned galleries, all without ever needing to use ropes. Some passages will require skill and flexibility, but arriving at the bottom of the Gnôle shaft will reward visitors for all their efforts.

The approach and return walks are also an opportunity to walk along a safe, vertiginous path in the Chartreuse massif and enjoy magnificent views over the Grésivaudan valley, the nearby Belledonne massif and Mont Blanc in the distance.

This incursion into the heart of the Dent de Crolles will delight all those who want to discover the underground world, including children aged 10 and over, for whom this day's adventure will undoubtedly be unforgettable.

If this trip is your first introduction to caving, I also suggest exploring the Dent de Crolles in the Guiers Mort, the vast Chevalier cave and the astonishing Glaz loop. And if you want to go a little further, why not try a more technical caving exploration of the Glaz via the Ogive, the surprising Solitaire gallery or the famous Elisabeth waterfall.
