Visit to the giant chasm of Cabrespine

Immerse yourself underground and marvel at the largest natural geode

The Giant Chasm of Cabrespine, a Subterranean Wonder of Europe

Ranked among the ten most beautiful caves in Europe, the Giant Chasm of Cabrespine impresses with its staggering dimensions: 250 meters deep, 1,600,000 m³ in volume… and a space so vast it could house the Eiffel Tower.

On the Road to UNESCO Recognition

Discovered in 1968 and opened to the public in 1988, this natural jewel is now on its way to being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its richness is unique: an unparalleled diversity of geological formations, enhanced by light shows that reveal the immensity of its vault.

The Glass Bridge: Thrill Guaranteed

The experience becomes even more breathtaking with the glass bridge: a true balcony suspended above the void, at the heart of the largest natural geode.

An Immersive Guided Tour

Over the course of 45 minutes, passionate guides share their knowledge and reveal the secrets of this fascinating underground world. Thanks to a multilingual interactive system (Spanish, Catalan, German, Dutch, English, Italian), the visit is accessible to everyone, including wheelchair users.

Extend the Adventure Outdoors

Don’t stop at the underground marvel: continue with the geological trail, the natural entrance of the chasm where thousands of bats hibernate, the truffle viewpoint overlooking the Clamoux Valley, or the majestic oak whose spectacular roots plunge into the depths.

An Unforgettable Journey

The Giant Chasm of Cabrespine is more than just a visit: it’s a grand adventure into the heart of the Earth, blending emotion, nature, and wonder.
