Description

Come and discover one of the oldest hydroelectric dams in France. The Cize-Bolozon dam, which will soon be a hundred years old, is located in the gorges of the Ain in a fantastic natural setting.
The tour of the Cize-Bolozon dam will be led by an operator from the Revermont plant group. During the tour, you'll discover the machine room, which houses three generating units with a total output of 21 MW, and the various spillways that enable operators to safely cope with flooding in the Ain valley.
