Activités spéléo à l'Aven d'Orgnac

Getting started with caving at Aven d'Orgnac means discovering the cave from a different angle, in VIP mode and 100% sensations... You are immediately struck by the beauty of the underground landscapes and by the adrenaline, like Robert de Joly exactly 90 years ago!
The Aven d'Orgnac offers caving initiations all year round, supervised by a passionate, state-certified guide.

* The Panoramic Descent which lasts about 1 hour sees you abseiling down the natural vertical entrance of the cave (Aven). A journey 50 meters underground as the first explorer of the cave did one morning in August 1935.

* The Underground Vertige – which associated with the abseiling becomes Le Combiné! – is an aerial course, a “via-cordata” (via-ferrata made of ropes) in the ceilings of the cave at a height of 30 meters which ends in beauty (about 3 hours later) with a zip line! Adrenaline guaranteed, while respecting the natural environment of the cave: there is no chemical sealing on the walls…

* As for the Spéléominot trail, it is specially designed for 7-12 year olds and set up in parts of the cave not revealed to visitors. Sparkling stalagmites and stalactites, blocks to climb, discovery of new hidden rooms, mini via-cordata… also allow visitors to understand the stages of the formation of this natural jewel and the challenges of its preservation.
Further information) :

Sustainable tourism

As part of the 'Grand Site de France' label (awarded by the Ministry of the Environment), the underground natural environment of the Aven d'Orgnac is closely monitored and protected. This is why the ropes of the caving routes are completely removable and nothing is sealed in the rock. At any time, the equipment used can be removed without leaving any trace on the walls of the cave.
