Visiting the Canfranc Underground Laboratory

The Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc (LSC) is a facility for Underground Science. It is conceived as a Consortium of the Spanish Ministry of Science and  Innovation, the Aragon Regional Government and the University of Zaragoza.

Located under the Pyrenees mountain El Tobazo, the over burden at the site provides 800 maximum meters shielding from cosmic rays and offers a low background environment for the next generation of experiments exploring the frontiers of particle and astroparticle physics.

The bus journey from Zaragoza to Canfranc-Estación takes approximately two hours. The visit to the lab could take another two hours. Therefore, the round trip requires an estimated total travel time of more than six hours.

We are planning to organize the visit to the LSC facilities on Friday afternoon, after the morning sessions conclude, if there is sufficient interest among participants. If so, the LOC will contact those interested to fill the available slots. Expressions of interest should be provided during indico registration.
