Welcome to the Haute-Sorne deep geothermal test site. For ease of reading, these access conditions use the generic masculine form, which includes all persons. As the project site is an industrial site with work in progress, a few rules of conduct must be observed to make the visit as pleasant as possible and to ensure that it takes place in complete safety.
These rules apply to all visitors without exception.
The leaders of visitor groups deposit the official identity cards of the participants at the entrance and in return receive a visitor badge for each participant.

Photography and filming are allowed under certain conditions and for private use only. You will be informed of any exceptions to this rule on site.
Interested groups must register online using the form at www.geo-energie.ch. We store visitors' personal data until the end of the visit and then destroy it.
