"A world first in the world of engineered caves, like the Skywalk in the Grand Canyon in the United States, the Cabrespine's Abyss glass walkway is a bold development that brings an extra dimension to this majestic site, renowned as the largest engineered underground chamber in Europe. Caves in France
Overlooking the village of Cabrespine, the giant abyss of the same name has impressive dimensions: 80m wide and 250m deep.
This makes it one of the largest caves in the world open to the public. It was discovered in 1968 and developed since then...
With these dimensions, the Eiffel Tower could fit inside.
The glass footbridge
The glass walkway overlooking the void offers an incomparable feeling... More than 15m long and underneath at more than 200m... the void.
The visit is made on the same level, which makes it accessible to disabled people and allows the crossing of aragonite and calcite crystals that reach extraordinary shapes and dimensions.
It also offers a wide variety of crystallizations.
For those who wish, an underground safari lasting 4 to 5 hours is possible.
Cabrespine, a descent into the bowels of the earth for a dizzying ride, full of sensations and poetry.
The route...
The view from the “Devil's Balconies” is breathtaking!
From here, you can climb (if you feel like it) onto the glass footbridge.
The belvedere of discs, a staircase built into a stalagmite, takes you right up to the vault.
The enchanting spectacle continues below, in the “red room”, the bed of an ancient underground river.
Two adventure packages are also available: the Accro Grotte de Cabrespine, an acrobatic course at the bottom of the Gouffre, or the Rivière souterraine, a caving epic in the footsteps of the first explorers...
Last but not least, the Gouffre de Cabrespine, also located in the heart of a truffle-growing region, is also a wine cellar... Minervois wine at 14° is matured here, preserved in amphorae. A world first...
