Caving day "Grotte des Eaux Chaudes

Alex — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:39:51 +0000

Caving day "Grotte des Eaux Chaudes

Home " Resourceful

A major underground river in the Ossau valley

The Eaux Chaudes cave is an ideal place to discover caving for a day.
A short approach walk to reach a very large entrance, an underground river with a regulated flow (hydroelectric catchment), varied underground landscapes, a few more technical obstacles (climbs): all the ingredients to project yourself into the bowels of the earth with wonder.

L’exploration de la grotte requiert toutefois une good physical condition car il ne s’agit pas d’une simple balade sur un sol plat : les parties de marche se font toujours dans un environnement chaotique et nécessitent par exemple de se servir constamment des mains pour s’équilibrer.

Pour des raisons de sécurité et de confort, certaines parties étroites du parcours ne conviennent pas aux fortes corpulences. Pour plus d’informations, nous contacter directement par téléphone.

Le vocabulaire spécifique de la spéléologie nécessitant des consignes précises, l’activité est encadrée en français uniquement.
