Cludinico between mining history and the mountain world
Accommodation in Cludinico
Cludinico combines the former coal mine with mountains in the surrounding area and historic sites in the wider region. For your journey, it is important to note that Cludinico can be reached by cars and small vehicles for several people, but not by coaches. There is a car park near the Cludinico InfoPoint. The car park at the InfoPoint provides an arrival point for visiting Cludinico. Those travelling with several people should therefore take the size of their vehicle into account before setting out. The choice of vehicle thus remains a specific planning factor for the journey to Cludinico.

The guided tour of the Ex Miniera di Cludinico
The guided tour of the Ex Miniera di Cludinico lasts approximately two hours. During the tour, you can visit the Santa Barbara ammunition stores, the coal lenses, the mining areas, and the calcareous concretions. The tour leads through different areas of the former coal mine and combines traces of mining with the calcareous concretions. For planning your day, the approximate duration can be allowed for as a separate time block in addition to the outward and return journeys.
Participation and timing
The former Ex Miniera di Cludinico coal mine in Ovaro has been renovated and can be visited as part of guided tours suitable for everyone. The tour takes place on Saturdays and Sundays provided that the specified minimum number of participants is reached. The weekend schedule applies to the tour of the mine. Visitors travelling with several people should take this participation requirement into account alongside their own schedule planning. For a group trip, this condition should therefore be incorporated into the planning before the weekend scheduled for the tour.
The museum at the mine
At the Cludinico mine, the former mine warehouse was converted into a museum. The museum is located in the former mine warehouse; the guided tour concerns the former coal mine. The conversion of the warehouse and the guided format therefore relate to different parts of the former mining site.
Mountains around Cludinico
Monte Zoncolan is a mountain in the vicinity of Cludinico. Monte Tamai is a peak there. Monte Arvenis and Monte Vas are also located in the vicinity of Cludinico, and each is a mountain. Those wishing to experience the regional mountain world together with its mining history can note Monte Zoncolan, Monte Tamai, Monte Arvenis, and Monte Vas separately from the two-hour tour.
Further historical references
The wider region around Cludinico is home to the ruins of Ex Ricovero Militare di Val Inferna and the Goldenstein ruins. Both ruins supplement the mining history of Cludinico with further historic structures from the region. Those wishing to consider additional historical topics in the region alongside the guided tour can note these two ruins separately from the mine visit.
