Take advantage of a full day caving excursion and explore the underground galleries by crossing the Château d'Oche, near Morzine!
You'll enter below the summit and emerge at the foot of the Château via the souffleur, just a stone's throw from the Dent d'Oche, a landmark of the Chablais region. Fabulous landscapes will open up to you both during your hike and in the underground galleries.
This caving day near Morzine is a complete and sporting experience. You'll start with a 1h30 to 2h hike to reach the cave entrance below the summit of Château d'Oche. Depending on the number of participants, you should allow between 3 and 4 and a half hours to traverse the underground caverns.
On the whole, the cave is large except for the entrance, which is narrow, and offers all the pleasures of a caving adventure near Morzine. You'll make a lot of progress on ropes, and you'll enjoy a number of abseiling descents, including one over 60 metres long! You'll descend to a depth of over 250 metres, in complete safety, alongside an instructor.
Before the end of your caving experience at Château d'Oche, you'll have to climb back up the rope in a vast 25-metre-high chamber before heading for the souffleur entrance gallery. Before embarking on a 40-minute return walk, you'll enjoy a magnificent view in the sunshine as you leave the underground passages.
On this caving trip to Château d'Oche, you will be supervised by a qualified and experienced instructor who will ensure your safety. Thanks to this private outing, you'll get the most out of this original and sensational adventure!
