Vallorbe Caves, Natural cave system in Vallorbe, Switzerland
The Vallorbe Caves extend through 1,200 meters of illuminated corridors, featuring numerous limestone formations created by the River Orbe over millions of years.
First discovered in 1880, these natural caves have transformed from an unexplored geological formation into a principal tourist destination in the Canton of Vaud.
The Cathedral chamber, rising 30 meters high, serves as a natural concert hall where musical performances enhance the connection between art and geology.
The caves maintain a constant temperature throughout the year and offer guided tours in multiple languages from March through November, with tickets starting at 18 CHF.
The Fairy Treasure Trove section houses a collection of 250 minerals from worldwide locations, displayed within the natural underground environment.
