The mountain mine of Villanders

The Villanders mine in the Eisack Valley, with a wide view of the Dolomites, was one of the most important mining areas in Tyrol in the Middle Ages. At that time, silver, galena, copper and much more were mined. The Villanders Culture and Museum Association has carefully restored the mine in recent years. It is now one of the few mines in South Tyrol that is open to visitors.

Individual special tours are available all year round on request.
The respective prices can be found on the mine's website.

Warm clothes and good shoes required.
Helmets and mackintoshes are provided by the mine.
