The Guided Tour takes you on a short journey deep inside the mountain Ben Cruachan. The power station lies at the heart of the mountain one kilometer inside.
Once inside the mountain you are taken up the visitor's walkway, past sub-tropical plants that grow well with the warm humid conditions inside the mountain, and then on to the visitor's viewing gallery. Once there, you can see the generating hall that houses the four generators that we use to produce electricity from water, available to you in your own home at the flick of a switch.
The Visitor Centre is open from Late January to mid-December, seven days per week. Winter hours available on request. During the summer months Easter to October we are open from 09:30 - 05:00.
There is a charge for the tour:
Adults: £5.00
Senior citizens/Students: £4.50
Children: 6 - 16 yrs £2.00, under six years are free.
The Visitor Centre is suitable for disabled, but the tour into the mountain is unsuitable for wheelchairs.
