Remove ads
La Presta Asphalt Mine (French: Mines d'asphalte de la Presa) is a former asphalt mine in the Val-de-Travers region of the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The mine was exploited until 1986 and asphalt was exported in most of Europe and in the United States.[1]
Today the mines are no longer in operation and are partially open to the public as a museum. A dedicated train station, La Presta Mines d'asphalte, located near the mine, is served by regional trains.[2] Steam trains operated by Vapeur Val-de-Travers also occasionally serve the station.
