The ALEPH detector at LEP has been supplemented with five scintillator stations to measure the muon component of cosmic ray showers underground. We report the measurements of coincidences over distances up to about 1 km which are sensitive to the forward production of hadronic interactions and the chemical composition of primary cosmic rays in the energy range around 1015 eV. The results are compared to the expectations obtained from Monte Carlo simulation. Our results indicate that the observed decoherence curve of muons is compatible with a light primary composition. In addition, the arrival times of muons underground as measured with scintillator stations allow to reconstruct the muon arrival directions in 3-fold coincidence events. These results are compared to shower simulations.
