Discover caving in the Grotte de Vicdessos in Ariege in a half day with a professional guide.

Discover a magnificent cave with an underground river, just a stone throw away from Tarascon-sur-Ariege! It's an original opportunity for an excursion with family or friends!

You will follow a small river that runs on black marbles, veined with wonderful white quartz that ends with a natural slide... A unique decor awaits you in the cave of Vicdessos.

You will have the choice between different routes, with or without using ropes, to reach the underground canyon and its small waterfalls which look incredible underground. You will walk in the beautiful galleries under the mountain of the rock of Olbier for half a day and you will use your time underground to learn the basics of speleology: recognise the rock formations and orientation.

It is certainly one of the most beautiful initiation itinerary in France... Don't miss it!

Une expérience inoubliable ! Nous avons passé deux heures fantastiques à la découverte du monde souterrain, c’était absolument magique. On ne soupçonne pas la beauté des cavités et parois rocheuses creusées par l’eau sous nos pieds, depuis des millions d’années… balade tout à fait accessible pour des novices que nous étions….

Sortie spéléo des eaux chaudes. On a appris énormément, ça a été une découverte que nous n'oublierons pas entre les explications complètes mais adaptées, l'excursion, l'apprentissage des différentes techniques et la mise en pratique. Alors merci à notre guide et à la super équipe avec qui nous sommes descendus. On reviendra avec plaisir!
