Accessibility

C-mine expedition offers limited access for wheelchair users or people with a mobility issue. The ascent of the pit tower is stairs only, but an alternative route is clearly signposted.

Attention wheelchair users: for practical reasons, we ask you kindly to contact contact C-mine visitor center before purchasing your ticket to make sure that the lift can be reserved. After all, several wheelchair users cannot be booked simultaneously: maximum 2 wheelchair users per group.

Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult when entering the platform on the pit tower.

Advice

In rainy weather, we recommend wearing appropriate clothing and footwear, as the hallways can get rather wet.
