Guided tours of the BedrettoLab available to the public from summer 2024

Up to now there have only been occasional opportunities for the public to visit this unique research infrastructure. However, that is about to change thanks to a partnership with the nearby Sasso San Gottardo Museum, meaning that members of the public can tour the BedrettoLab on the following dates this year:

• Saturday 20 July 2024
• Saturday 3 August 2024
• Saturday 28 September 2024
• tours start at each date: 11 a.m., 12 a.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m.

On each of these days we will be offering four guided tours in German and four in Italian. Those interested in taking part can check the time slots for each language online. Tours can be booked now on the Sasso San Gottardo Museum's website (www.sasso-sangottardo.ch/bedrettolab) at a price of CHF 25 per person.

What does a tour involve?

It will consist of a walking tour lasting around two hours and covering a distance of about 4.5 kilometres. This means that it is only suitable for individuals who will have no trouble navigating their way across uneven terrain for this length of time. Geology and research are brought together in the BedrettoLab: the Sasso San Gottardo Museum's guides will lead visitors through the unclad rock tunnel holding the BedrettoLab, while pointing out and explaining various geological phenomena that would be difficult to spot otherwise. Visitors can also take in the BedrettoLab's geothermal test environment, giving them an insight into the ongoing research work at ETH Zurich.
