Guided hike 2h
from May 22, 2022
A cultural, historical, contemplative and... a somewhat sporty hike!
After having parked your car on the RN20 roadside of USSAT-LES-BAINS, you take the pedestrian crossing and walk along the old thermal bath to get our ticket office. After presenting your online ticket and after a small welcome drink, you have the choice to follow a 1.4 km trail on foot or in our small train. You climb the last 200 meters on foot before you reach the impressive entrance to the LOMBRIVES cave system. Here you will meet your guide who will accompany you for the 2 hour tour.
Please arrive at the ticket office 15 minutes before your departure time
Departures are from the ticket office of Lombrives. Whether you climb up on foot or with the train, the tour will start at the entrance of the cave, 20 minutes later than the departure time indicated on your online ticket.
For English tours during the summer period please find the information and booking online. (online tickets)
Please note that most of our guides speak English and are able to make some translations. A tour information Booklet is available in English at the ticket office.
See our departure times in "Online tickets".
access conditions:
Lombrives is a natural listed site. Whether you are a history or a prehistoric geology lover, or simply contemplative, if you like being in vast underground spaces, if going up and down a high staircase overlooking the Cathedral does not scare you, and if you can walk for 2 hours on a natural ground which can be uneven or a slippery... then whatever your age, put on your walking shoes and some warm clothes because... LOMBRIVES is made for you!
