Sights

• The "cave of the cow" (grotte de La Vache [fr]): with distinctive archeological strata discovered in its entrance and in the "salle Monique", opened to the public in 1979. It produced a remarkably rich collection of prehistorical objects from the Magdalenian era (12,000 to 14,000 years old), including a large number of harpoons and assegai points as well as more than 200 pieces of art: bones, engraved reindeer and red deer antlers, sculpture of animals, sometimes of humans, as well as rare species for that period: panther, bear, wolves, Saiga antelope, birds and salmon.

It was one of the first caves explored in Ariège (Félix Garrigou, in 1866). A second salle was discovered in 1952 and was explored by its discoverer, Romain Robert, until 1964.

• Fortified cave Spoulgas d’Alliat: located 100 m south of the cave of the cow.[3]

Activities

• Rock climbing around the caves
