The objectives will follow the progressive advancement of the works related to opening the mine to visitors. You will ensure that all areas along the entire route are clean, comfortable, and safe. Additionally, you will build and install a barrier in the pump room and work on completing and consolidating the unfinished walls left by miners in the 20th century. Outdoors, you will clean the technical path reserved for participants (archaeologists, youth in construction, N&M supervisors) and maintain the tidiness and safety of the visitor path leading to the Mine entrance. This work does not require specific qualifications and will be supervised by a technical supervisor. You will work underground 4 days a week, from 8:30 am to 12 pm and from 2 pm to 5:30 pm.
Since 2009, extensive rehabilitation and development work has been underway at the Vallauria silver mine, and we were delighted to open it to visitors in July 2023. Archaeologists discovered a lever pump used to drain levels flooded by infiltration waters. Quite rare, this type of equipment is well-preserved due to the humidity and climatic stability inside the mine. This relic is the focus of this project. You will contribute to the ongoing improvement of the visitor experience by highlighting as many elements as possible while ensuring comfort and safety for all. Based on the work of the mining geologist, you will also help on rebuilding and supporting rocky elements that may pose instability risks. This work will be carried out with qualified supervision familiar with the characteristics of this environment.

By welcoming young people from all over the world each year, the future village is being built around a number of different objectives: getting to know each other and learning from our differences, reflecting and acting together to protect the environment, but also having a positive impact on the surrounding area and people by putting solidarity at the heart of each of our actions. Vir'Volt also aims to become fully eco friendly and sustainable which is reflected in our campsite ; yurts and teepees as rooms, permaculture farming and gardening, water saving projects, reducing and reusing waste.
