Description

Are you looking for a unique experience, accessible to all those in search of thrills? With a programme that includes abseiling underground down vast, beautiful shafts?

Then this technical caving route of the Glaz via Ogive, located in the Chartreuse massif in Isère, is perfect for discovering the first verticals in the Dent de Crolles network.

Rope climbing is also on the program on the return route, with the ascent of the Puit de l'Ogive. Arriving at the summit, it will give you access to the Salle du Dôme, for a splendid and well-deserved mineral show.

What's up? Ready to vibrate? The Ogive is waiting for you, for a day of unequalled sensations.

If you want a gentle introduction to the activity, you can follow me on an introductory caving trip to the Dent de Crolles in the Annette cave, the beautiful Chevalier cave or the interesting Glaz loop. And if you are looking for something more challenging, you can also explore the Elisabeth waterfall or the Solitaire gallery in the heart of the Dent de Crolles.
