Would you like to discover the mining history of Villard-Saint-Pancrace? The Centre Montagne welcomes you for a cultural visit, including a visit to the museum to learn about the different tools used, followed by an immersive walk through the mine.

If you're a history and heritage enthusiast, or curious to learn more about the history and life of Villard-Saint-Pancrace's peasant miners, here's a visit you're sure to enjoy. The tour begins at the mountain center, where you'll discover the tools used in the mine and the installations that were built. You'll then set off on a short stroll to the cabane mine, about 1 hour's ascent, with a vertical drop of around 200m. A bucolic walk through the woods, where you'll be able to observe the ancient remains of the miners, with some mine entrances still visible, the presence of rails that enabled coal to be transported in waggons... (There are 200 galleries in the Villard-Saint-Pancrace area). Once at the cabin, don your helmet and headlamp, and immerse yourself in the Cabane mine. Open your eyes wide, turn on your headlamp and enjoy the discovery!
