Discover this small, fun and historical tour of the vertical mines of the Grand Clot. This via cordata is ideal for children, from 5 years old with family or friends. A moment of shared happiness, around the heritage and history of miners.
This beautiful via cordata is the ideal activity to have a good time all up there in the mountains! It is through a game of mirrors that this cunning and newly equipped path will lead us to the entrance of a beautiful mining gallery.
Everything has remained intact: wagon, rails and veins retrace more than 500 years of history of the silver mines.
During the visit, one becomes aware of what work in vertical mines was. We learn more about the tools and extraction techniques that miners used to recover ore. We will also be able to recognize and observe different rocks such as quartz, granite, galena and alquifoux, a mixture of silver and lead.


Count about 3 hours of activity.

Provided equipment: helmets, ropes, harness, NE name lanyards, and flashlights.
Bring good shoes, a small backpack and water.
