Grottes de Réclère

The 1500-meter-long cave network contains numerous limestone formations, including stalagmites and stalactites shaped over millions of years through water erosion.

Following their discovery in 1886, the caves opened to visitors in 1890, revealing evidence of prehistoric human habitation through archaeological findings.

The geological site combines the natural cave system with an educational Prehisto-Park, offering insights into the region's ancient past through exhibits.

The cave maintains a constant temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, requiring warm clothing for the one-hour guided tour across 580 steps.

The cave houses Switzerland's largest stalagmite, the Dome, measuring 15 meters in height and displaying intricate mineral patterns.
