Information and learning opportunities on the topic of hydropower
Anyone who would like to learn more about how electricity is generated from hydropower can get a good overview of the technical details, as well as the history and the allure of the reservoirs and their structures, in our info centres and interesting exhibits in the valley and at the Mooserboden.
Dam wall tour - possible again from 17 June 2022!
The Moosersperre dam towers almost vertically at 107 m and at the same time curves between the rocks at a width of 494 m. With our dam tour, we offer those who are interested the rare opportunity to get to know the inner workings of the structure. Tickets for individual bookings are available at the cash desk in the valley or directly at the Mooserboden kiosk.
Tours take place daily every 45 minutes from 10 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and last about one hour. The departure and meeting point for the tour is the Mooserboden kiosk. Important information: Unfortunately no dam wall tours will be offered between the 3rd of June and the 16th of June 2022 due to the construction work in the inspection walkway. Thank you for your understanding.
