Cludinico between mining history and mountain landscapes
Cludinico combines mining history with a mountain landscape featuring several mountains and a peak in the surrounding area. The former Ex Miniera di Cludinico coal mine in Ovaro gives the village a clear historical focus. If you are interested in culture, regional history and landscapes, you will find various topics here that can be combined when planning your trip.

The former Ex Miniera di Cludinico coal mine
The former Ex Miniera di Cludinico coal mine in Ovaro has been renovated and can be visited as part of guided tours. These tours are suitable for everyone. The mine thus offers a tangible introduction to the history of mining, without requiring you to limit yourself to a purely scenic view of the surrounding area.
A guided tour of the Ex Miniera di Cludinico lasts about two hours. During the tour, you will see the ammunition stores known as Santa Barbara, the coal lenses, the mining areas and the calcareous concretions. The tour takes place on Saturdays and Sundays, provided that the specified minimum number of participants is reached. This condition is one of the important points to consider when planning the visit as part of your stay.
Getting there and finding your way around
Cludinico can be reached by cars and small vehicles for several passengers, but not by coaches. There is a car park near the Cludinico InfoPoint. This means that, for your arrival, the choice of transport and finding your way around the village can be considered separately: access is intended for smaller vehicles, while the car park provides a specific starting point near the InfoPoint.
Mountains around Cludinico
Monte Zoncolan is a mountain near Cludinico. Monte Tamai is a peak there. Monte Arvenis and Monte Vas are also mountains near Cludinico. These four landscape features broaden the view beyond the mine and give a trip to Cludinico a clear focus on the mountains alongside its cultural and historical significance.
Ruins in the wider regional area
The ruins of Ex Ricovero Militare di Val Inferna and Goldenstein are located in the wider regional area around Cludinico. Both are ruins and extend the historical perspective beyond the mine in Cludinico. They can therefore offer you an additional perspective on the region's past if, alongside its mining history, you also wish to consider surviving or documented architectural and local features.
The museum at the mine
The former mine warehouse at the Cludinico mine has been converted into a museum. This provides another tangible connection to Cludinico's mining history at the mine. Together with the tour of the former coal mine, the museum forms an independent cultural focus for travellers who want to get to know a place not only through its landscape, but also through its working and industrial history.
