History

Description

The Grotte du Trou de l'Argent (Silver Hole) is a spectacular through-cave with a spectacular view on the Rhone Valley. And it is also quite difficult to reach, the access to the entrance is a via ferrata and requires basic climbing skills. The entrance on the northern side is secured with a steel rope and there are iron bars, bring a via ferrata kit with harness, lanyard and carabiner. The cave is a short passage, level and big enough to walk upright.
