Description
Are you intrigued by the underground world, but never had the chance to take the plunge and discover it? This discovery caving trip in the Dent de Crolles is for you.
There are no narrow passages or shafts to descend on this loop through the Glaz. On the contrary: vast, horizontal galleries, unexpected concretions and the incredible story written by the work of water through stone over millions of years await you.
This introduction to the world of caves takes place in the Chartreuse massif in Isère, France, and is an unforgettable day out with friends. But it can also be a wonderful family experience for children aged 10 and over.
If you would like to try your hand at this activity on this outing, I would also suggest a caving discovery tour of the Dent de Crolles in Annette cave, the Guiers Mort and the Chevalier cave. And if you want to go a little further, why not try the more technical caving route in the Solitaire gallery, the Elisabeth secret waterfall or the Glaz via the Ogive.
