WHAT IT IS ABOUT

Get ready to be plagued by the gold rush!

The Malcantone region is known for its mineral-rich soil, to such an extent that the first written documents showing gold mining in this region date back to 1785. During the visit, you will learn a lot about the region and its importance in terms of Ticino and on the different phases of exploitation and cultivation of minerals. The mine, which can be visited from 2018, is an important testimony of this tradition.

Everything will happen in absolute safety by having adequate protections and thanks to the skill of your companion.

Don't miss the chance to get a closer look at those fantastic precious stones!

An experience for young and old!
