About this experience
Welcome to visit the scientific Institute of the Sun, located at an altitude of 1100 meters! The location was chosen not by chance: here you will find clean mountain air, rarefied atmosphere, and three hundred sunny days, allowing work to be carried out year-round. The local guide will introduce you to the institute's scientific developments, show you the innovative testing ground, and reveal the secrets of working with the solar furnace.
