He will then assign a mission to children and adults, explain the course of the game, give the safety instructions and coordinate departures. A document in the form of a parchment will be provided beforehand with map, drawings, photos and texts. The treasure hunt will consist of finding clues, solving puzzles, may be to flush out, depending on the season, strange and mysterious beings. Throughout a course laid out and secure 500 m long and 60 m deep you will enjoy musical and light entertainment highlighting the most beautiful parts of the cave.

Back on the surface, around a table, you will find the location of the treasure chest and the combination of letters, numbers or symbols that will open it. You can then access the reward!

In the forest: the walk and the game can be done before or after the descent into the cave. Along the forest route you will have to search and count the animals that hide there. You will also have to solve puzzles and find the necessary clues to access the treasure!

Très bon moment

Commenté le 09/01/2024

Aucune difficulté, très bon moment, bien organisé. Chasses au trésor au top pour les enfants, très contents également de repartir avec de « vrais » trésors. Je recommande cette activité (la grotte) à partir de 4/5 ans, pas avant. Plusieurs enfants dont mon fils de 4 ans avaient peur dans la grotte.
