Sleep beyond your wildest dreams

Ecomuseum and mines

Just before getting to Traversella there's a road that goes up right. It leads to the old iron mine, which was very rich during the XIX century. Unfortunately, it was closed down in 1971.

Nowadays, thanks to the project for the "Geoparco minerale", it is being restored. In fact, the old mines of Traversella are part of a plan of the Provincia di Torino that involves many other similar sites.

It is now possible to take a short guided walk to discover the beauty of our mountain.

The Geoparco is now real, even though there's a lot more to do: the Gruppo Mineralogico is constantly engaged.

We would like to thank them for their efforts. You can find interesting and updated information about their job and our mines on the official site .
