Brusson — Miniere di Chamousira
Aosta Valley
Chamousira's gold mine, tucked into a fold of the hills above Brusson, saw sporadic working from possible Roman-era origins through to closure in the mid-20th century, leaving tunnel entrances and spoil heaps still visible along the approach path. It's a quieter alternative to the village's better-known botanical arboretum.
