The terrain.

The Merveilles gallery of En Gorner is inaccessible to the public without a caving guide. It is reached by traversing large galleries and immense chambers adorned with intact speleothems, then climbing up to the majestic upper gallery.

The highlight: clusters of crystals and extraordinary eccentrics — exceptional crystallisations that grow defying gravity. A sector preserved from tourist visits, a paradise for photographers and geology enthusiasts.
