Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Discover caving in the heart of the Siech cave and its underground river between the towns of Foix and Tarascon-sur-Ariège!
With almost 6 km of underground route, the Siech cave is perfect for a first sport caving trip near Foix! You will discover the ways of moving in a dark environment, with the bonus of an underground river on your way, as well as some of the animals that nest in the caves, such as bats.
Carved out by water more than 600,000 years ago, the Siech cave is a natural wonder that is worth a visit because of its river and its large rooms where you can admire all sorts of concretions (stalactites, stalagmites, draperies, etc.). So if you are passing through the Ariège, or even in Andorra, don't hesitate to book your caving trip in the Siech cave with Spél et Eaux!
Caving exploration with free souvenir photos to be taken on the Spél et Eaux website.
