Description
Discover caving in the unspoilt natural setting of the Gorges d'Agnielles and explore the Grotte de la Résurrection, located in La Faurie, a 40-minute drive from Gap and 15 minutes from Veynes.
Situated in the Buëch valley, in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes département, this family-friendly underground trail makes it easy to discover caving with the kids. This half-day adventure, accessible from the age of 6, is the perfect opportunity to learn caving in a spectacular environment. It offers a playful route dotted with stalactites and stalagmites.
During our exploration, we will take the time to make successive stops that will give you a better understanding of the different aspects of the underground world without the use of rope techniques.
The activity lasts around 3 hours and can be completed by people who have never caving before. You must be at least 6 years old and be able to swim. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any medical problems.
