Create an itinerary including Les Grottes de La Balme
A chapel built into the rocks at the entrance of Les Grottes de La Balme launches your caving excursion. Its placement is an architectural feat rare for the period. Formations inside the cave will also intrigue as you navigate stalagmites thrusting up from the floor and admire ceilings of dripping stalactites. Take the guesswork out of planning a La Balme-les-Grottes vacation by using our trip itinerary maker.

    Beautiful, mesmerizing cave, with a lot of interesting scenes, spacious rooms and optional narrow routes. Everything is well lit. Skip some parts when you're claustrophobic. Very kind personnel, ready to tell some history and facts. Well maintained and very safe paths. We've spent over an hour exploring the different parts.
