L’activité était complète, descente en rappel, passage sinueux, un peu d’escalade mais tout est possible et très bien organisé. On remercie Jean-Philippe pour son expertise et ses belles photos !

Spéléologie dans la grotte de l avent des côtes. Premiere sortie speleo pour le groupe que nous étions. Super sortie. Guide au top qui prend le temps d expliquer et de répondre aux questions.
