THE SASSING TANKS
Go there and contact
The vats of Sassenage, one of the Wonders of the Dauphiné.
Going underground is never trivial, and visiting one of the "Wonders of the Dauphiné", a listed natural heritage site, remains a privilege. Climb up to the cave along the Furon before a guided tour along a fun and educational trail. The spectacle of the caves is breathtaking. Several themed tours are available, including an ApéroGrotte where you can sample local produce in an unusual setting, a Halloween special in an "earth-ifying" cave, and Wednesday summer tours for children with Omballa's Challenges.
