The Bétharram Caves are the most beautiful in Europe and certainly the most curious to visit: tours are held in many languages. Allow 2 hours for the tour with includes many steps, a viking boat ride and finally a train ride back to the surface!
The visited part of the caves extends over 2.8 km with an impressive drop of 80 m. The underground course of the river is 3.5 km.
The visitor enters the mountain through a natural opening: the upper part includes vast rooms rich in concretions.
The chasm connects this level to that of the river. The lower part follows a natural fault, witness to the work of the water.
The visitor exits through an artificial tunnel dug from 1913 to 1924.
The Caves of Bétharram are located in two departments: you enter through the Pyrénées-Atlantiques and you come out through the Hautes-Pyrénées.
Currently, visitors are welcomed to a large shaded car park with 500 spaces for passenger cars. A shuttle then takes them to the entrance to the caves located 2 km above.
After having made the visit, the small train which transports them, stops in front of a magnificent building built in 1924, one of the very first in France in reinforced concrete.
In this hall, souvenirs, minerals, fossils and postcards are offered for the visitor's appreciation.
The underground circuit ends near the parking lot for cars and coaches.
