La Presta Asphalt Mine

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.
