    Hiking

    This mine dates back to the 16th century. It forms a Y-shaped tunnel about twenty meters long. Much work was done at the time, but ultimately yielded very little ore. It is possible to enter the mine (bring a flashlight, raincoat, and sturdy shoes).

    Hiking

    The entrance to the mine is very low and the ground is always wet so it's not easy to crawl in on your knees. But once you've made it, you can stand upright after a short distance. You can see how extremely tight things are here.

    Hiking

    A very steep climb over loose rocks to reach the copper mine. Not recommended for people with walking difficulties or young children. It's best to stay on the Sentier du Lac trail at the bottom of the lake.
