The open pit
We offer a tour of the open pit, which is mostly about the mining period, the geological discoveries and the chemical discoveries. The show is held outdoors and lasts about an hour. The underground facility is not included in the tour. The price for a private viewing of the open pit mine is SEK 800 + SEK 60/person. A lower price is offered for school tours.

The underground facility / The Cold War
For fire safety reasons, we are currently unable to arrange tours in the underground part of the mine. We will get back to you if and when there is any new information to share.
