Activity description
Discover caving in the Cordier cave in Salavas with the Face Sud instructors!
The cave of Cordier has become a very popular route for cavers to join the network of Foussoubie. Second longest karstic network of Ardèche, the network of Foussoubie counts at present 23 km of underground galleries. A real geological and mineral sanctuary, you will find crystallizations, vast rooms, chaos of blocks and underground rivers.

Accompanied by a state-qualified instructor, enjoy the impressive galleries and numerous rooms of the Foussoubie network and learn the history of these caves.
