Explorers' half-day caving trip
Share a good time underground with family and friends
The "half-day explorer" formula is suitable for children (from 7 years old) and less athletic people.
The caves are predominantly "horizontal", i.e. there are no passages that require the use of ropes (unlike the other packages). However, the exploration will not be a simple underground stroll: you will have to find your way through the galleries of various shapes and sizes, climb and slip through.
Regular breaks to observe and understand this unique environment will also be part of the programme.

Levels / Difficulties
Discovery of caving adapted to the greatest number of people.
Progressing underground will require walking, climbing (easy), crawling on all fours and occasionally crawling (a few metres maximum).
Even though we will be standing in most of the cave, we will have to accept a few low passages.
Without necessarily being sporty, you must be agile enough to move around in a rugged environment: an easy obstacle course of sorts, only mineral.
Regular breaks to decipher the environment will be made, the discovery is playful.
Conditions
- Be in good physical condition, but not necessarily athletic, limited physical commitment.
- Children from 7 years old
