Didactic trail in the Robiei dam
San Carlo
A tunnel inside the Robiei dam has been opened to the public to allow visitors to see from inside the installations that have profoundly changed the landscape of the Bavona Valley.
The dams are massive concrete structures that accumulate massive amounts of water in order to produce hydroelectric power.
This didactic trail explains the natural water cycle, the construction and the security systems of the dams and the transformation of the power of the water into electricity.
