What is and where is the Predoi Mine

The mountains that enclose the Aurina Valley hide a treasure hidden in their depths. Here, where for centuries miners toiled to extract a copper of the highest quality, today lies the Predoi Mine, a place where history and the earth come together in an unforgettable tale.

Why it's special: a mine to visit

All you have to do is board the old little train and let it take you one kilometer into the deep heart of the mountain. This is the beginning of your adventure: a true journey through time, where guides, with passion and expertise, will show you the ancient tools and historic machinery, telling you about the mining techniques of yesteryear.

Not to be missed: experiences in the mines

Life for miners was difficult, and you can discover it through a series of films and reconstructions that reveal the harsh conditions, but also the strength and dedication of the miners. And to feel even more in touch with them and the mine itself, you will have the chance to come face to face with an authentic vein of ore, just as they did.

Fun fact: The Provincial Mining Museum.

The Prettau Mine is more than just a museum: it is part of the Provincial Mining Museum along with Ridnaun, Monteneve, and Cadipietra. The museum and its 4 locations are not just places to visit, but a treasure chest of stories and knowledge that live on among the rocks of the mountain. A tale capable of excitement, where the past becomes present and adventure awaits you, just a few steps from the highest peaks.
