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.

    Incredible place! The guided visit is only 10€ and it is totally worth it! During more than 1h30, you will learn about the formation of the caves, the animals that can be found here, and some events that took place in the caves.
