    Hiking

    Magnificent and impressive natural cavity that can be explored with a lamp. At the bottom there are beautiful ice formations even in summer. This phenomenon is due to the shrinkage of the cavity
    which traps cold air at the bottom. When moisture seeps through the ceiling, the temperature is low enough for the water to freeze and form stalactites.

    Big cave which can be explored. Don't forget to bring flash lights and adapted footwear.

    Hiking

    Parking and map displayed. Departure on a very pleasant and marked path. Magnificent view and several impressive and accessible hollow "coolers" which are indicated (10 points to be indicated on the map and trail). I was able to see the 1st nearby as I broke my toe before...next time for the rest. Thought of a lamp, it's better inside dark, in the first you can cross and come out on the other side...
