Caving at Chambéry Montagnes: an underground adventure
Caving at Chambéry Montagnes is the art of exploring the mountain from its very bowels. Guided by a qualified guide – compulsory for all outings, except for the Tanne du Névé self-guided caving expedition – you can explore caves, galleries and underground networks in the heart of the UNESCO World Geopark – Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park.
A unique geological heritage to explore
This listed area is renowned for the richness and diversity of its geological heritage. The caves and caverns you explore tell the story of millions of years of history, shaped by water and time. Equipped with a helmet, wetsuit and headlamp, you’ll discover spectacular concretions, underground rivers and astonishing passages.
Outings to suit all levels
Caving is available for all levels:
- Discovery outings: ideal for families, with accessible and educational galleries.
- Sporting explorations: for adrenalin-seekers, with abseiling, narrow passages and water immersion.
- Throughout the outing, your guide will share his or her knowledge of geology, hydrology and cave fauna, while ensuring your safety.
An invaluable sensory experience
Beyond the sporting aspect, it’s a unique sensory immersion: total darkness, deep silence, the raw beauty of the rock… all emotions that leave a lasting impression.
Practised with respect for this fragile environment, caving at Chambéry Montagnes is a rare and precious adventure, to be enjoyed alone, with family or friends… always with a guide.
