Grottes de Vallorbe, Vallorbe

An amazing experience and probably amongst my top 3 experiences in Switzerland till date. If you are not afraid of slightly cramped spaces and subterranean tunnels, you will be awed by the Vallorbe Grotte. You see basically everything related to caving with stalactites, stalagmites, curtains, caverns, underground ponds, lakes and rivers. You will walk through the largest subterranean river in central Europe! And the final light and sound show at the 'Cathedral' was wow. Please note that it is really cold inside so a light jacket is recommended. There is a food and curio shop at the entrance which is quite nice. You can also spend time at the river outside and enjoy a picnic on the banks. Must visit!

Great caves to visit also with kids. The caves are large and the walkways are on concrete, on bridges or stairs. The attraction can be viewed using a specific app that provide a commentary on the various Chambers. Really an innovative way to walk through the grottes. The app runs in various languages and provides a brief spoken commentary, while also more background can be read. At the entrance there are exhibitions of precious stones as well is their a fromagery. The grottes are impressive sue to its long length and the big Chambers, the largest named the cathedral. Worth a visit is you are in the neighbourhood.
