Our state-certified instructor will lead you into a unique adventure consisting of a vertical cave travel inside the la Pierre Saint-Martin cave system. This demanding and technical underground course is rather aimed at experienced hikers.
The journey starts with a 45 min outdoor hike to reach the entry hole, followed by a short technical training. You are then ready to enter the Huet hole, which was discovered in 1953 and connects, 200 m below (656 ft), with the historical river of the la Pierre Saint-Martin cave system since January 2022. Be prepared for rappelling descents from 4 m (13 ft) to 35 m (115 ft) and narrow passages. Many sections will require the use of harness, cowstails, ascender and descender. You will also be able to enjoy the illumination of the La Verna chamber at the end of the tour.
Provided equipment : hygiene cap, helmet with light, overall, harness, technical gear.
What to bring : warm clothing (temperature is a constant 5°C), gloves (if needed), comfortable trousers to use under the overall, hiking shoes or boots, small backpack with water and scroggin.
