Grotte de Malatiere 2019 (France)

Another visit to this classic cave in the Franche-Comté. Not the first, probably not the last. We like it down there...

The cave is more ore less horizontal, the entrance shaft (8m) is one of two shafts in the classic part. There are some traverses in the cave, so you'll have to bring some ropes, especially when you go with novices or people who are a bit scared of narrow ledges.

The "river", indicated on the cave plan, is only a river after heavy rain, normally it's just muddy. The Metro (Subway) or Galerie Sud is a long and spacious gallery with beautiful concretions.
