Discover the mining soul of Champdepraz and step back in time to the 18th and 19th centuries, when mining was the lifeblood of this valley.
This museum doesn’t just tell a story – it immerses you in it. Powerful visuals, engaging videos, and striking reconstructions bring history to life.

As you walk through the exhibits, each panel opens a window to the past, while faithful scenographical reconstructions, such as a cross-section of an original charcoal kiln, let you breathe in the authentic atmosphere of the mines. One gallery, designed to resemble an underground tunnel, displays mineral samples in wall niches and fills the air with the sound of tools striking rock, miners at work, and their voices echoing through the dark.

Follow the journey of the extracted material as it travels down the valley by sled or cableway, and watch its transformation into a finished product.
