Guided tour of Alsace’s silver mine in the depths of the earth…

Guided tour of the mine
Dive into the mysterious depths of the earth… on with your helmet and off we go! The Tellure silver mine, dug by hand and mined for nearly 400 years, is the largest underground mine in the Vosges. Accompanied by a guide, you will descend the galleries of time, from the 16th to the 20th century, for an underground immersion experience that lasts an hour. An exceptional opportunity to contemplate the silent underground world and savour both its magic and breathtaking beauty.
The visit is truly spectacular: imagine walking underground, in a huge cave with galleries dug by hand – Source: My Weekend in Alsace
The Cité de la Mine
Complete your tour with a visit to the museum. Relive the times of the 16th century miners thanks to a panoramic cinema, an audio-guided tour, and an optical theatre. A fitting tribute to the men who worked to dig out the mountain with their own hands and extract its riches.
