Campo di volontariato
Following the footsteps of the Mercantour miners 2
Tende, FRANCIA
Attività principali
Together, we will build a larch wood mine gallery using traditional carpentry techniques from the mining era (18th-19th centuries). The aim is to integrate it into the visitor circuit, providing a better understanding of how miners worked. The first step will involve working with the wood, collecting larch logs and stripping their bark on site. These logs will then be transported to the mine where they will be assembled to create the gallery. Other workshops will focus on building dry stone walls to maintain the mine's visitor circuit. There will be four workdays per week, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This project requires no special skills and will be supervised by a technical instructor who will be happy to share their knowledge of the mine's history and traditional construction techniques.

Location : The hamlet of La Minière de Vallauria is located at an altitude of 1500 meters. The site is nestled in the mountains, bisected by a river. We are 10 km from the village of Tende (06430) (2 hours from Nice by train) and 50 km from Ventimiglia (Italy).

Organizzatore
At an altitude of 1500 meters, at the gateway to the Mercantour National Park, the Neige et Merveilles association welcomes you to the hamlet of Vallauria, a mining village steeped in history just waiting to be shared. Over 60 years ago, a group of friends working at Renault dreamed of creating a village where people of different nationalities and social backgrounds could meet. The entire site is open to all. Young people, older people, groups, individuals, and school classes come together to understand, share, question, build, and feel. The ruins of the hamlet have been, and continue to be, renovated by young people from all over the world, driven by the desire to build a better world for tomorrow. Above the hamlet lies a silver-lead mine, in operation since the 13th century. The medieval section represents a geological heritage intertwined with the mythical Valley of Wonders, sure to interest those with a curious mind.
