Staying in a Hydro Electric Station

The control station for seven hydro dams in the region. Our hotel – the former mess hall for staff – is the building higher up on the left.

A high-voltage switch yard that the hotel overlooks. You can both hear the buzz and "smell" the electricity as you walk under the lines.

Many of the small streams in the area are actually controlled by the hydro station – and are more dangerous than they first appear.
