EDF HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT IN PRAGNERES

About us

Despite the Vigipirate context, we offer you a visit to the reception area of ​​the Pragnères hydroelectric power station and its operation without access to the inside of the factory.
A special rate is applied.

Take advantage of this visit to discover the industrial heritage of the Gavarnie Valleys and one of the most important power plants in the Pyrenees. Discover the "harvesting of water" and the operation of a hydroelectric development, in the footsteps of the builders of Pyrenean dams and the hydraulic engineers of EDF.
A unique experience in an unusual site combining guided tour and virtual reality experience!
