Discover what’s beneath the concrete
The tour begins with a giant model of the Eau d'Heure Lakes area, giving you a clear picture of the scale of the place.
Next, you head into the dam tunnels: 400 metres of underground exploration, giving you an understanding of how this impressive structure works.
After this immersion, you come out between two giants: the 110-metre tower and the dam towering 50 metres above you. A lift then takes you to the machine room where you are shown the reversible pump turbines and their essential role in electricity production.
And the highlight of the tour: access to the Skywalk, a glass walkway suspended 107 metres above the ground with incredible panoramic views of the lakes.
A 1.5-hour guided experience that combines thrills, science and breathtaking views.
