The gust of wind upon entering, gives visitors an idea of the vastness of the cave they are about to explore. The entrance gives way to a vast elliptic gallery whose walls show evident traces of a recent erosion. One then passes through a room where during the excavations, several bones belonging to the "Cave Bear" were found. This is followed by a series of potholes (eroded through the years) and another elliptic gallery which branches off in two directions, one higher and one lower. The lower branch is totally submerged by water (siphon); the higher, artificial branch, allows visitors to pass over the water. This siphon re-emerges a little further on, forming a deep pool of emerald-green water.
Leaving the entrance to the 3rd Itinerary on the left, one continues along a wide and richly formed gallery (Main Gallery) until we reach a pool of water (Crystal Lake), which mirrors a snow white column formed by the unison of stalactites and stalagmites. Following a slightly narrower passageway one enters the unforgettable "Sala del Ciondolo" (Pendant Room), where large polychrome draperies, supple and transparent, are flanked by huge flows of shining colours and bizarre contorted stalactites. The floor is completely covered with massive stalagmitic formations.
This is followed by "Sala del Crollo" (Hall of Collapse) which is more than 20 metres high with imposing yellow and orange-hued formations which cover and seal together an accumulation of rocky masses which became detached thousands of years ago from the cave roof. Amongst the harmonious design of these formations, it is possible to define true sculptural masterpieces, created by Mother Nature.
Further on, beyond the magnificent flow of the "Camino Rosa" (Pink Chimney) the path proceeds through "Sala dei Monumenti" (Room of the Monuments) and along the "Galleria dei Drappeggi" (Curtained Gallery), touching the entrance of the Intermediate Gallery, (return path of the second itinerary), finally reaching the bottom of a 40 metre well, whose steep walls are covered in interesting rock formations. In periods of heavy rainfall, a tumbling waterfall cascades from the summit of this chasm into an obscure crevice, flanked by large flat-surfaced stalagmites.
Finally the pathway climbs steeply, leading to the "Valico" (Pass), beyond which, after descending about 20 steps, one comes to the edge of "Baratro dei Giganti" (Chasm of the Giants), where the first tour ends and the second begins.
