Galerie Hydraulica

This interpretation centre focuses on the industrial adventure that drew on the power of water and the tireless work of human hands in order to bring the Bozel Valley into the 20th century. Located at the foot of one of the largest of the penstocks that capture water from the glaciers, Galerie Hydraulica unveils hydroelectricity’s secrets and industrial applications.Using interactive scenography further enriched by the memories and testimonies of the valley’s inhabitants, it immerses visitors in the heart of an adventure that provided for an entire valley well before the ski resorts came into being. Galerie Hydraulica also takes you out of doors along a fun-filled route and theme-based trail, two light-hearted adventures to experience as a family, as well as acquainting you with a site unparalleled anywhere else in Tarentaise: the Ballandaz Gorges. Thrills guaranteed!
