TELLURIUM SILVER MINE
Go there and contact
A unique opportunity to discover the world of the St. Jean Engelsbourg mine in a playful way whatever your age.
Discover the mining heritage of the Val d'Argent in a fun and/or sporting way! Parc Tellure plunges you into the heart of the Saint-Jean-Engelsbourg mine and its great column: the largest underground cavern in the Vosges! The facilities are designed for all ages. The most courageous will have a blast on one of the sporting courses, in the heart of the bowels of the earth: underground Via Ferrata, abseiling, zip-lining above the void, caving in galleries dating back to the 16th century... Beginners and the most experienced alike will find what they're looking for! New for 2023, the "special kids" Via Ferrata: featuring climbing, abseiling and a zip line, this course is ideal for children aged 8 and over. But that's not all. The Parc Minier Tellure also presents the very first underground escape game ever conceived: Escape the Mine, which takes place in teams of 3 to 8 people (aged 12 and over). An incredible setting for an unusual adventure... Claustrophobes please! Adventurers can also try their hand at a brand-new fantastic treasure hunt: "Tellureland, Cobalt and the Evil Object". The Halloween events are also very popular! Otherwise, for the less daring, there's the museum trail, the panoramic cinema with its giant screens, and the optical theater with its play of light and shadow. Put on your headphones, enjoy the silence and... set off on a journey to the center of the Earth!
