📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
During the course of the bibliographic research and archaeological digs, the remains of the mine have revealed their secrets and the project to promote it has evolved. In 2020, the circuit for visitors, fitted out thanks to the different work sessions with our young volunteers, was completed. Over the past few years, the excavation of two new galleries has helped to avoid dangerous areas and it is now possible to visit 900m of the site underground without any difficulty. The aim of this operation is to secure certain areas over the entire visitor circuit. This operation will be overseen by an archaeologist.
💼 What the programme involves
The underground works are relatively varied: installation of metal barriers, repair of masonry work on existing staircases. Outside, cleaning of the outcrop of the medieval mine and repairs on the technical path reserved for the team of young volunteers, archaeologists and work supervisors. A small building located on the path found during the excavations will be showcased.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be sharing a room for 4 people with bathroom facilities. The meals are not prepared by the volunteers but by the kitchen staff. You will be asked to help with some food preparation, tidying the dining areas, and the washing-up.
📍 About the location
Leisure time will be based around mountain activities, hiking, bivouac, food transportation, visits to archaeological and mining sites, discovery of the flora and fauna in the surrounding alpine environment. Your daily life will be supervised by an activity coordinator.
