A parallel world
Under your feet
Have you ever traveled underground? The via souterrata de La Tune will surprise you with its environment.
The approach walk to the entrance of the chourum will only take you a short half hour on nice days and a short hour if the snow cover is on the ground. A free parking lot at the entrance of the station in Superdévoluy will allow you to park as close as possible. From there, a sign will take you to the place of the activity.
Have you planned the necessary equipment?
A not too fancy outfit 😉 , a helmet, a harness and a headlamp are the minimum requirements.
In autonomy
Or accompanied
By the light of headlamps, and by a constant temperature of 10 degrees, you progress on a circuit of 300 to 500 meters long. This may seem short, but between catwalks, monkey bridges and rungs, the whole crossing can take you about 1h30.
This sporty and fun adventure can also be shared with professionals who will guide you and provide the necessary equipment. A great opportunity to talk about geology, hydrology, archaeology or cave fauna. Don’t hesitate to ask for their guidance!

Focus on
From the shadow to the light
A film by André Borel.
When a child of the Dévoluy decides to share his love for his massif with his grandson, it gives “From the shadow to the light”.
André Borel, author of this film and writer (he has already published 2 books on the Dévoluy), offers us a new way to discover the massif, this time from its bowels, in the heart of the chourums of the Bure country.
This film is an initiatory journey through the earth’s crust of a massif that has not yet delivered all its secrets.
DVD available for sale in the Dévoluy Tourist Offices.
