Safety

You must wear a helmet, and one is provided for your visit. A speleology helmet is like a bicycle helmet, with straps which can be adjusted comfortably for each wearer.

Each helmet is equipped with a forward headlamp.

Closed shoes are obligatory. Wear clothing for a temperature constant at 4° C. An experienced instructor will accompany you from start to finish so you can get the most out of the cave and its mysteries. The minimum age for this activity is 5 years, but the degree of difficulty is very easy.

The largest cave on the vast Canadian Shield

Experience the thrill of an underground trek in the vast Canadian Shield’s largest visited cave. With ice stalactites and stalagmites in winter and geology which is accessible to everyone, the cave holds many surprises and discoveries. Its history is littered with astonishing anecdotes and mysteries.

For five years now, speleologistshave been coming to explore new passages in our cave.

Our Laflèche Cave tour is reserved for persons over the age of five and lasts approximately one hour.

If you’ve never ventured underground before, please be aware that the cave’s temperature is a constant 4°C. Warm clothing should therefore be worn, even in summer.

We supply a helmet with a headlamp. Just like a real explorer, you’ll be able to follow the guide and make the most of the visit.

During this voyage to the heart of the Canadian Shield you’ll learn about more than 20,000 years of history. Not only that, but you’ll find out about speleology – the study and science of cave exploration.
