We nearly didn't get in as we arrived and were told there were no slots that day. Luckily they had a couple of no-shows so we managed to get in and were very glad we did. First you watch a bit of a film about the station and then you all get on a bus and drive over to it... More

This was our second visit to Electric mountain. Both have been excellent and we have found the tour very interesting and the guides extremely informative. We also visited the cafe and found the food very good and the staff were friendly. We felt it was good value for money. More

The scale of this hydro power station is like something off James Bond! I never knew it existed and there is some pretty impressive machinery and facts about this method of power station.
