Aven-grotte de Suège - Entrée n°1

The entrance pit measures 18 metres. A short 3-metre climb, followed by a somewhat selective squeeze, gives access to a chimney equipped with 10 metres of height. In 08/2026, this squeeze had visibly been widened and is not at all selective. After the handrail, a P 10 widens out into a small chamber. At the bottom of the P 10, towards the south, a narrow passage then a short gallery with a 5-metre climb (metal bars, narrow exit) lead to the P 8 which breaks through the main gallery. In the opposite direction, one reaches the bottom of the last 10-metre climb, then a low gallery opens onto the 17-metre vertical drop in the middle of the cliff.

Two chambers are adorned with remarkable speleothems.

In the opposite direction, the mud lakes are avoided thanks to handrails (cables).

Through a low passage, one can go back to visit the salle des auvergnats. One can follow the main gallery northwards to narrow passages. Le retour is made by following a path that runs along the foot of the cliffs towards the west; in 08/2026, this path is partly collapsed, a dangerous passage. One quickly reaches the field through which one accessed the cavity.
