Cave of Choranche
Presentation
Between Pont-en-Royans and Villard de Lans, in the heart of the Gorges de la Bourne, enter a magical universe and discover an underground world with emerald and crystalline reflections, where the galleries light up to the rhythm of your steps!
The Cave, an iconic tourist site in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region from 2022 to 2028, is home to numerous wonders. You'll wander along two underground rivers and discover thousands of stalactites, veritable calcite straws, found throughout the cavern: a spectacle unique in Europe! During your visit, you'll also encounter olms, amazing cave-dwelling animals... Finally, the gigantic Cathedral Hall will be illuminated at the end of each visit, offering a new show.
Immersive Sound and Light show, full of color and emotion! Follow the guide!
