VERBUND Information Centre Mayrhofen
Right next to the power plant in the town of Mayrhofen is the VERBUND Information Centre Mayrhofen. The exhibition offers interesting information about electricity generation in the Zillertal valley and is open 8:00 am to 5:00 pm all year round with free admission.
Guided tours for groups and schools
The perfect way to convey knowledge is to combine a guided tour in tn the VERBUND information centre in Mayrhofen with a guided tour of the dam at the Schlegeis reservoir (can also be combined with a meal if required). We would be pleased to put together an individual programme for groups.
Dam wall tour
The dam wall tour takes visitors into the interior of the 725 m-long and 131 m-high Schlegeis dam. The guided tour into the Schlegeis dam is held daily between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm, from June to October. The tour lasts approx. 1 hour, but unfortunately is not wheelchair accessible.
The meeting point for the guided tour is the "s'Raschtl" snack bar right by the dam, where registration will also take place. You will be given the tickets for the guided tour there.
Please note that you must notify us of groups of more than 15 people.
