The “Père Noël” Cave, a unique geological gem

The aptly named Father Christmas cave (it was discovered in 1968, the day after Christmas) is an integral part of the Han-sur-Lesse cave system. It has only been open to the public (on appointment) for a few years now (only by appointment), and has been a source of joy to explorers and adventurers alike.

What your visit has in store for you

The visit will take place in small groups of 5 to 10 people. Experienced instructors will accompany you during the entire duration of your underground expedition.

The route is quite physically demanding, it is clearly signposted and you can safely tackle the trickier passages thanks to cables and rope bridges. These additions were conceived to be as discreet as possible in order to preserve the unspoilt appearance of the cave.

In order to respect the many bats that live there, we will be exploring the cave by the light of our caving headlamps. A truly extraordinary journey in the bowels of the earth…
