At the heart of the Broc hydroelectric plant, this energy information center will take you into the world of electricity thanks to an interactive and fun visit.
During the visit to the Broc power plant in full operation, you will discover the path of electricity from production to consumption, and learn all about the different forms of energy, particularly renewable energies. You will also see a demonstration of very high voltage effects.
The visit can conclude with a lovely walk upstream from the Broc power station towards the dam which powers its turbines, passing through the magnificent Gorges de la Jogne (an hour's walk).
Self-guided outdoor tour (duration: 45 min.)
The 10 stations of the electro-cultural course offer a moment of relaxation and discovery for families and curious people from all walks of life. On a red thread of energy, discover history, geology and other original subjects with humor and surprise. Freely accessible during working days, from 5 years old.
