About

Commissioned in 1941, the Portillon power station is fed by water from the Portillon lake (at an altitude of 2,580 m) and the Lac Bleu lake (at an altitude of 2,265 m).

The water is conveyed via underground galleries to a 1,419 m high penstock, the largest in France, which feeds the power station's turbines. The facility is part of EDF's Luchon-Cierp plant group, which comprises several power stations and dams in the region, producing around 370 GWh annually, equivalent to the consumption of 153,000 inhabitants.

It is located next to the Cascade d'Enfer.

New - The Tastes & Flavors Guide

While eating well without breaking the bank is a major concern for our fellow citizens, short supply chains are thriving in Comminges. Now more than ever, there has been a growing need for a guide that lists producers, restaurateurs, and food professionals who sell their creations directly to consumers and work with local products in an ethical manner.

From Farm to Table with Complete Transparency: The Charter

The Charter of Commitment was developed by and for professionals in partnership with the Comminges-Pyrénées Tourism Office. It highlights producers from all fields and chefs who work according to best practices, promote Comminges products, and share their respective expertise.

The guide “Goûts et Saveurs en Comminges” is not just a directory of businesses. It is much more than that. As you turn the pages, you’ll also find recipes, profiles, and interviews.
