Price list
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
3-hour bike tour, divided equally between bike ride and mine visit. Departure at 10:00 from Elba MTB Capoliveri, arrival at the Ginevro mine at 11:00 and return to the Bike Center at 13:00 (a meeting time approximately 20 minutes earlier is requested). WAIT FOR TIME CONFIRMATION AFTER THE RESERVATION.
Explore one of the most advanced mines in Europe at the end of the 1970s. The mines were in operation from 1971 to 1981 and were one of the most modern mines in Europe, built with very innovative criteria for the time. At the time of the cessation of extractive activity, only 1/3 of the deposit had been exploited, despite there still being a lot of iron in the depths, available up to 250 meters below sea level.
Itinerary
Tenuta delle Ripalte
20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeHere, where the green of the Mediterranean maquis fades into the blue of the sea, lies our Tenuta delle Ripalte resort on the Island of Elba, on the Costa dei Gabbiani. A place away from chaos and close to heaven, where time stops and follows the slow pace of nature, where the rust-red earth nourishes centuries-old pine trees and precious vines. Tenuta delle Ripalte is located 9 km from the town of Capoliveri on Monte Calamita, reachable after 4 km of white road, a suggestive route, which prepares you for your arrival in this special place immersed in a dimension of peace that only the most pristine can give.Miniere di Capoliveri(Pass by)

1 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedGinevro was the largest and most productive magnetite gallery in Europe, the flagship of Italian iron and steel production. External excavations are somewhat limited, because unlike Calamita and the other mines on Elba, it is the only one where internal excavation has been undertaken through boreholes and galleries which starting from +6 meters developed on various levels up to to reach 54 meters below sea level.
