Cuves de Sassenage
Created several million years ago by the underground river Germe, Les Cuves cave offers an unusual underground tour. Its narrow passages, flint gallery and rushing river promise an unforgettable journey to the centre of the Earth! As an added bonus, discover the legend of the Mélusine fairy, the cave's mysterious inhabitant, thanks to the sound and light show. There's a pleasant path leading down to the other side of the cave, offering magnificent views of the Furon torrent and its waterfalls. Climbing time: around 15 minutes, 150 m ascent.
