A unique day to celebrate one of the most fascinating mining sites in the Aosta Valley, taking you on a journey through centuries of mining, human ingenuity and stunning landscapes. To mark this occasion, the tour will feature in-depth insights into the lives of miners, copper processing techniques and the changes that have shaped the area over time.
An itinerary tracing two thousand years of mining, following the trail of copper through the mountains of Saint-Marcel. From the first tunnels dug by the Romans to the 18th-century furnaces of the Treves Foundry, the tour illustrates how human labour, technological evolution and knowledge of the material have transformed rock into metal and progress. The tour continues along the path to Acque Verdi, where the minerals colour the springs and rocks with spectacular hues.
You can round off the experience with a traditional lunch at La Chèvre Heureuse or the Locanda del Diavolo at a cost of €25 per person, excluding drinks.
