Vacations in La Balme-les-Grottes
The Balme Caves are a natural attraction ranked among the 7 Wonders of the Dauphiné, along with Mont Aiguille and the Fountain of Fire. The caves have been open to visitors since the early 19th century. The caves are preceded by a monumental natural archway, beneath which two chapels—one built in the 9th century and the other in the 14th—were constructed. If you’re camping in La Balme-les-Grottes, be sure to take your family to explore these underground labyrinths dotted with lakes, pools, and magical stalactites and stalagmites. You can take a self-guided tour of the caves, which lasts over an hour. It’s also possible to hire a guide. The caves are home to 23 species of bats: an ecological treasure to be respected and cherished. The caves are also located within the Côteaux de Saint-Roch Sensitive Natural Area: After your visit, a marked trail featuring 8 educational signs invites you to explore the ecosystems of two other natural habitats surrounding the caves: dry grasslands and the forested area. Balmy the bat, the mascot of the Balme Caves, is available in the gift shop as plush toys, coloring books, and other merchandise.
