Great experience with my 2 children for a first caving outing at Roche Cave with Jean-Baptiste. Besides this very exotic and slightly sporty moment underground, Jean-Baptiste taught us many interesting things about this underground world. This motivated us for other outings of this kind, we will try canyoning another time. I highly recommend it and thanks again to our really nice guide.

From A to Z, a fantastic outing.

A super caving outing! We were very well taken care of by Vertical Aventure (over the phone) and then by our guide Johanna! She was particularly reassuring (especially during potential difficulties). She also taught us a little bit about geology. We also had a good time (optional if we wanted) after the outing to clean up our gear. From A to Z, a fantastic experience. Thank you very much

We had a great day (visited the Gournier cave and went on a water walk) with a fantastic and very friendly guide (Thomas). His professionalism, good mood, and experience greatly contributed to the success of the day. I highly recommend this outing!
