HOW DOES IT WORK?
Speleo Experience – Monte Corchia
Once the introductions have been made, we put on the suit, harness and the rest of the equipment. Along the path in 20 minutes we will arrive at the entrance of the cave. Briefing on safety, on the activity and off we go!
The air temperature between 8 and 10 degrees centigrade.
The entrance, a natural opening, is a bit narrow and sloping. Shortly after we will arrive at the first rope descent, then a second of about 20 meters and then a third.
From here, climbing towards the walkways of the tourist route, which we will follow for 5 minutes, and then leaving them behind us, deviating towards the snow tunnels… the adventure, of course, continues…

SPELEOLOGY
Speleology (from the Greek spèlaion=cave and logos=discourse) is the science that studies karst phenomena or natural caves and cavities, their genesis and their nature.
Beyond its purely scientific aspect, speleology attracts a notable number of people who practice it as a sporting discipline, as a philosophy or even just for simple and healthy curiosity and fun!
The exploration of the subsoil is certainly one of the oldest human activities, in fact in prehistory, caves were used by man as a shelter from anything that could represent a danger.
We are waiting for you to try and experience this adventure together from December to April
