We are at the first point of the Malcantone Mining Park Trail: the Sessa Goldmine
In the House of de Mine (Cà da minèra) there were various equipment, including the compressor to produce the compressed air that was brought through a pipe into the mine to operate the drilling machines and other tools and to ventilate the areas invaded by dust from the mining work.
The stones brought out of the mine were sorted and loaded onto the teleferic to be transported downstream where the first processing plant was located.
