Please note that tours of Wendelstein 7-X will not be possible during the operation phase starting in September 2024.

Despite the limited visiting opportunities, we are happy to offer you informative on-site presentations. These presentations will give you a comprehensive insight into our work and developments in the field of fusion research.

For those who prefer a tour, we have good news: Tours will be possible again in January 2025 and as of June 2025. Then, we look forward to showing you our facility in person again.
