Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Let yourself be tempted by the caving crossing of the Suège cave, near the Gorges du Tarn!
Go for an underground crossing, thanks to this caving activity in the Grands Causses, from Rivière-sur-Tarn. The Grands Causses region is an area of plateaus (called Causses) composed of sediments, resulting from the decomposition of marine animals, which gives limestone. They were formed during the Jurassic period! Today, it is a wild and rural region, whose landscapes are the perfect playground for caving.
This caving activity has the advantage of not being a round trip, unlike many others. It will be a crossing of the Suège cave, practicable all year round, which will initiate you to the verticality in ascent as in descent. You will evolve in a varied environment, where you will be able to admire unique geological formations in Europe, a giant fossil and exceptional landscapes during the outings! On the programme: abseiling, vertical climbs, a monkey bridge and a breathtaking view of the Tarn valley and the Causse Noir as you leave the Suège cave!
B&ABA sport nature will provide you with top of the range equipment, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the activity to explore this underground world. In addition, their instructors are all state-qualified. With them, you are sure to have a great time!
