History

 
13-NOV-1988bear bones in Balme à Collomb discovered.

Description

More than 20,000 years ago, in the cave Balme à Collomb at Entremont-le-Vieux in the chartreuse, the cave bear roamed. The cave revealed its secret on 13-NOV-1988, when Pierre Guichebaron and Marc Papet, two speleologists from the Spéléo club de Savoie, discovered the cave bear bones.
