Sporty "The Loop"
1/2 day
Temperature 15°C
For those who enjoy contemplating the underground world without narrow passages.
A magnificent subterranean network adorned with stalactites, draperies, and columns. If you love contemplation, you'll be blown away! The route is somewhat technical and physically demanding. We explore the large galleries with sections of easy climbing and downclimbing over rocks, and traverses along ledges. There's a 15-meter rappel on a single rope midway through the route. A complete outing combining technical challenges with underground landscapes rich in crystals.
For those who are afraid of narrow passages, the hardest part is at the entrance: you have to crawl on all fours for about 15 meters. After that, you can stand upright for the entire route.

Sporty "Keep fit!"
1/2 day
Temperature 15°C
A physical and fun caving adventure with numerous narrow passages, as wacky as they are varied!
By far our most physically demanding caving route! The cave is located in the Spanish Cerdanya region. It's a challenging route where we alternate between walking on varied terrain and beautiful galleries with crawling sections and narrow passages leading to the Sala de Cerdanya. We then follow the sculpted meander and its beautiful narrow passages (some sections can be intimidating, but if you're not afraid, they're extremely fun!).
If this was just a warm-up for you, we suggest you continue into the most physically demanding gallery in the network!

Sporty "The crossing"
1/2 day
Temperature 15°C
A complete caving adventure with unavoidable narrow passages!
The Perez shaft is a sporty and varied caving route. This "traverse" itinerary is ideal as it avoids backtracking. A series of rappels leads us to a beautiful chamber adorned with concretions (crystals). After downclimbing, narrow passages, and crawling, we reach the large En Cassa network, rich in crystals, through which we will wander, not without some physical challenges, until we reach the exit.

A fun introduction to caving at the Montou Cave. This is a fossil cave (water cannot enter).
It allows us to introduce you to caving in a fun way: a labyrinthine network, passages requiring crawling, and two easy squeezes. We'll overcome simple vertical obstacles: traversing ledges and an introduction to rappelling (12m). The erosion formations are amazing to observe.

Live an unforgettable caving experience on the unique Périllos plateau.
This vast limestone landscape and its karst vegetation are unique in our region. It's a favorite among cavers, and for good reason: it's riddled with sinkholes! We'll explore the iconic Grand Barrenc de Périllos. A breathtaking 50-meter rappel takes us to the bottom of the Périllos Abyss and its immense underground chamber. After exploring and a picnic lunch, we'll gear up to ascend using ropes and return to the surface.
Prerequisites: No fear of heights. Willingness to learn rappelling and rope ascent techniques.
