TrekkMines

Le Coulat

A unique adventure underground !

Follow the footsteps of the former miners and explore the centuries-old tunnels of the Bex Salt Mines.

Narrow corridors, impressive staircases, and a rough, authentic atmosphere – an unforgettable experience between adventure and discovery.

Discover the new TrekkMines tour !

Your adventure has been redesigned to allow for an even more immersive experience in the mountain.

After an exciting introduction, you board the Miner train that takes you into the underground world. You then climb 70 steps, followed by the 734 steps of the Grand Escalier, before entering the historic tunnels from the 18th century: the settling basin, the Grafenried sector, and even the mysterious Dessaloir du Trésor.

Finally, you descend the 734 steps again to take the train back to the surface.
