Description

Morphology

Entrance n°1, of modest dimensions (0.5 m in diameter), gives access to a 14-metre pit. This pit ends in a 3-metre-long scree slope.

On the right, a chamber develops; at the end of it, a small step gives access to the salle de la dernière, whose dimensions are interesting.

Continuing from the scree slope, after a narrow passage, a short climb gives access to the salle des cheminées. Below, on the right, a narrow P3 develops; on the left, 2 fine chimneys overlook the chamber. On reaching the following chamber, a small scree slope is noted, lit by the P12 of entrance n°2.

Speleothems

Continuing from the chamber following the salle des cheminées, 3 small flows announce the end of the visit.

Progression

Access to the following chamber is gained by passing near a blade. On the left, a high passage leads to a chamber.
