09.02.24. Le Lac des Mines d'Or (France)

            Le Lac des Mines d'Or, est un lac artificiel, situé en Haute-Savoie, sur la commune de Samoëns en France 1 390 m).

Les Mines d'Or au Col du Coux : C’est au XIXe siècle que le col de Coux a connu sa mini ruée. Vers 1850, des Suisses creusent une mine à quelques encablures du col. L’histoire ne dit pas s’ils ont fait fortune. Par la suite, dans les années 1890, ce sont quatre Stéphanois qui tentent de poursuivre l’exploitation, toujours, à la recherche d'un filon. La fortune n'était toutefois pas au rendez-vous, les difficultés d’exploitation dues au manque d’eau et surtout la mort accidentelle d’un des compagnons provoqua l’abandon définitif de la mine quelques années plus tard.

The Lac des Mines d'Or, is an artificial lake, located in Haute-Savoie, in the commune of Samoëns in France 1 390 m).

The Gold Mines at the Col du Coux : It was in the 19th century that the Col de Coux experienced its mini rush. Around 1850, some Swiss dug a mine a few hundred yards from the pass. History does not say whether they made a fortune. Subsequently, in the 1890s, four people from St. Etienne tried to continue mining, still looking for a vein. However, the fortune was not there, the difficulties of exploitation due to the lack of water and especially the accidental death of one of the companions caused the definitive abandonment of the mine a few years later.
