A tour that winds its way through dormitories, tunnels and historic traces of the past, revealing the mining community as a true Alpine micro-society: organised, supportive and tenacious.
From the Guardian’s House to the Powder Magazine, from the Cableway to the San Giacomo Tunnel, the tour is an authentic journey into the working world of yesteryear — a way to rediscover the dignity and strength of those who shaped the mountain.
