... continued from previous lap ... or rather it is an integral part dell'itineraio described below ...
Campo Moro ... Field Franscia ... 2 tunnels and 10 curves on the left there after the Museum of Bagnada. Parked The Panda yellow to start the visit.
We recommend you buy a ticket to the museum, in Sondrio, before leaving because reservations are always very numerous. Over 1000 requests even 3 months ... imagine you ... however, thanks to our old childhood girlfriend "Cinzia" retrieve tickets (10 euros each "well spent"). We join the rest of the group ... we are 20 people around + 2 guides.
Climb for a walking path about 10 minutes, then got to the top of damage Cascetta and waterproof ... ready for the ride in the quarries.
Per far capire di cosa si tratta a chi conosce la Valmalenco solo per i "bachét" informo che il museo nasce nel comune di Lanzada con l'idea di raccontare la storia di un'attività che ha segnato la vita dei valligiani e connotato fortemente il territorio malenco: l'estrazione del talco. La Miniera della Bagnada fu scoperta verso la fine degli anni ’20 dalla Società Anonima di Amianto dell’ingegner Grazzani di Milano, che ottenne la prima concessione di ricerca mineraria nel 1936. In realtà, già nel 1870, alcune società impegnate nell’estrazione dell’amianto intuirono le potenzialità del talco; tuttavia le difficoltà tecniche e la scarsa richiesta sul mercato di una raw material still unknown brought down the interest.
Depletion of the reservoir of Bagnada, just discovered during the search of new asbestos-Filion, lasted for over 50 years, until the mid 80's. The farming activities of the Mine was pretty rudimentary, based on manual work and without mechanical aid. Or at least that's what they told us the two guides. Then they added that provided for the transfer of powder through cableways and organization of the workforce in teams of 25 miners who were sharing the duties of each day.
Well as miners began our journey at 8 degrees of temperature and 3 floors of course. Duration of the visit about 2 hours.
Here are some pictures attached of course.
talc mining is still a fundamental aspect of the economy Valmalenco, that it requires only one active mine in the international market. Of course, technological change has brought profound changes to the methods of cultivation in terms of modernity, not erase the historical memory of the Mine Bagnada want to testify today ... Intan and we continue to walk ...
At the end of the tour we visited the Museum of Mining is located in the lower floor of the station of departure. And 'the last leg of the route, a sort of encounter with history, objects of work in the mines and other mining activities.
Given the late hour, but especially the fatigue, we were unable to visit the Mineral Museum with exposure of minerals Valmalenco.
... so instead we went to the pub at the Museum of Church where we drank fresh Redbull 2 \u200b\u200b... we need energy ... and so we have checked the aaalliiiiii ...
RECOMMENDED!
The quarry is worth around ... Remember warm clothes and boots at the foot ... also a better giaccavento waterproof while providing them with the helmet.
