The Važec Cave (Slovak: Važecká jaskyňa) is a stalactite cave near the village of Važec in northern Slovakia. It lies at an altitude of 748 metres, in the Liptov Basin near the White Váh river, on the northern edge of the Low Tatra mountain range. The cave was discovered in 1922. With the length of 530 m, 230 m are open to the public.
