Mit tropischem Urwald, Sibirischem Stör, alpinem Kaviar und der interaktiven Ausstellung «Wie der Fisch auf den Berg kam» ist das Tropenhaus Frutigen ein Erlebnis für die ganze Familie. Auf spielerische Weise sammeln grosse und kleine Abenteurer hier beim Erkunden allerlei Wissensschätze zu aktuellen Themen wie Ernährung, Umwelt und dem nachhaltigen Umgang mit Energie. 

Experience how the naturally warm water from the Lötschberg is used to grow tropical fruits and to produce real sturgeon caviar. In five thematic worlds, visitors are invited to an interactive exhibition. The topics of water, sturgeon, caviar, pleasure and energy, always in close connection with the events within the tropical house, are animated and communicated in a playful manner, giving the opportunity to learn a lot of new things and to try them out. At the beginning, virtual figures – a groundhog from the region, a sturgeon, a scientist, and a cook – welcome you and guide you through the exhibition.

A tour of the greenhouses enthuses and surprises with the multitude of exotic fruits, spices and plants. Bananas, papayas, mangoes, carambolas, dwarf bananas, guaves, mangosteens, grapefruits, pomegranate apples, avocados, pineapples or kumquats are all over 170 varieties that can be discovered. Different thematic trails lead visitors through greenhouses and allow them to discover a wealth of information on coffee, bananas or spices. Access to the greenhouses is free.

Two exciting missions with over 30 tricky puzzles and a gripping story. As the Expeditions Team, you will discover the secrets of a forgotten Inca civilisation and their mysterious artefacts: the “Tears of God” – the source of the old Inca gods’ power. Of course, things don’t exactly go to plan, and you will have to find your way out of some precarious situations. An hour packed full of exploration, puzzles and teamwork, for families, friends and colleagues.

This activity is now offered by Tropenhaus Frutigen in cooperation with Live Escape Game Switzerland, the pioneer of the escape game scene in Switzerland with 8 years of market experience and over 50,000 happy visitors.

Why travel to distant lands? At the Tropengarten Restaurant, the holiday atmosphere is guaranteed. A unique culinary experience awaits you amidst verdant greenery and the fragrance of exotic flowers. This is due not only to the tropical ambience, but also the Tropical Garden’s kitchen team: here the chefs are inspired afresh each day by the high-quality ingredients from the fish and caviar farm and the bounty of fruits and spices from the tropical garden. Tasty menus await you each day, and how about a romantic tête-à-tête for two people? Restaurant guests are also welcome without a visit to the exhibition.

Das Tropenhaus Frutigen bietet verschiedene Führungen an. Die öffentliche Führungen jeden Sonntag um 14.00 Uhr bieten einen Einblick in die verschiedenen Bereiche des Tropenhauses. Bei Erlebnis- oder Spezialführungen wird das Zuhören mit Aktivitäten wie Workshops oder Schatzsuchen ergänzt.

 

Zudem finden zahlreiche Events rund um den Tropenwald und die Fischzucht statt.
