Family Caving in Cerdanya (Barcelona)

Context Caving in Cerdanya offers access to the Cova d'Anes, located between Prullans and Bellver in the Catalan Pyrenees. This natural cave spans 335 meters, with 200 meters open to all visitors. The site features a striking karst landscape with stalactites, stalagmites, and stone columns. Access involves a 30-minute walk uphill to the Turó d'Anes, where cool air carries the scent of alpine vegetation.

The Experience After equipping with helmet, headlamp, and gloves, you begin a guided exploration of the cave. You’ll practice basic caving techniques such as crawling, abseiling, and low-lying movement while traversing 200 meters of limestone formations. The cool, damp atmosphere is enhanced by the echo of dripping water, creating a unique sensory journey illuminated only by your headlamp, revealing both rough and smooth rock textures.

For Whom This activity suits families with children aged 7 and older, beginners in caving, and small groups with good mobility. It is not suitable for individuals with limited mobility or severe claustrophobia, nor for those seeking advanced caving techniques.
