Need to keep the kids busy for half a day? Take them to discover caving in the Hermit Cave, accessible from the age of 3!
Located near Tarascon-sur-Ariège and Foix, a stone's throw from Andorra, the Ermite cave is an underground cavity offering a fun and easy caving course, perfect for families. You will see numerous concretions (stalactites, stalagmites, draperies, etc.) and large rooms where you can meet small bats. You will also pass through playful, sandy passages, and even a natural mini-labyrinth!
Simply equipped with a helmet, lighting and a wetsuit, the Hermit cave allows an approach to caving entirely adapted to the youngest, in complete safety alongside a state-qualified caving instructor.
