Description
This caving route is the ultimate adventure itinerary. You will enjoy two of the most important axes of the Dent de Crolles network in the Chartreuse massif: the Solitaire gallery and the Tritons boulevard.
Just think : those two galleries are each about 900 meters long!
This underground loop, which begins and ends at the Guiers Mort, is a delight for those who wish to immerse themselves, for the time of a day, in an atypical universe, unimaginable from the outside.
A memorable underground expedition, for lovers of sporting challenges and wide open spaces!
I also offer other outings of a similar level: a caving exploration of the Glaz via the Ogive and the Elisabeth waterfall in the heart of the Dent de Crolles. There are also more challenging and technical routes, such as the Glaz-Annette, Glaz-Guiers and P40-Glaz crossings.
